I've installed other distros in separate Gnome Boxes to try them out. Once the desktop manager for the Fedora installation comes up, the screen resolution is 1024x768.
The full-screen resolution which the virtual monitor supports, is 1920x1002 and almost full-screen is 1920x1080. In trying to get the desktop to come up in this resolution, I have tried an xorg.conf file, as well as in the distro's session settings, to add (under Autostart): xrandr --output Virtual-0 --mode 1920x1002 (and) xrandr --output Virtual-0 --mode 1920x1002 --rate 59.9609 I've also added vga=xxx to the boot parameter with the hex code that is closest to this resolution and also tried a different code for 1920x1080. None of the above will bring up the desktop/desktop manager in the desired resolution. FWIW, I also have two other distros in separate Gnome Boxes: PCLinuxOS (which is based on OpenMandriva) and Lubuntu. With both of these, I get full screen, or almost full-screen, certainly better than 1024x768. I don't understand why the other two distros will honor monitor settings, while Fedora doesn't. I have to keep changing it to 1920x1002 after the desktop appears each time. Would there be anything else I could try? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
