[DNG] librewolf
Hi all, I noticed several discussions about browsers. Has anyone used librewolf? It's not a debian package. There is an appimage though. I'm not sure this is the official home page: https://librewolf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Best regards, Simon ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Unfortunately "videogen" has compiled-in limits for width, height and refresh rate so can't be used directly here. But, I grabbed the source and patched for that, and then got the modeline: % ./videogen -v -m=3840x2160 -mdc=290.000 -mhf=67.5 -hfp=176 -hbp=296 -vfp=8 -vbp=72 -mvf=30 Modeline "3840x2160" 290.00 3840 3960 4104 4800 2160 2168 2171 2274 # 290 MHz, 60.4 kHz, 26.6 Hz .. if that's any use for you Ralph. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Here below the way I have solved. You need a valid right modeline for your tv/monitor with the desired resolution/refresh. You have the hardware specs of your tv/monitor, and its EDID file you attached which has: DTD 1: 3840x2160 30.000 Hz 16:967.500 kHz 297.000 MHz (1872 mm x 1053 mm) Hfront 176 Hsync 88 Hback 296 Hpol P Vfront8 Vsync 10 Vback 72 Vpol P Using these informations you should be able to find the modeline you need. See: Modeline Database - MythTV Official Wiki https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Modeline_Database Working with Modelines - MythTV Official Wiki https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Working_with_Modelines * Modeline Calculator https://arachnoid.com/modelines/ videogen http://www.dynaweb.hu/opensource/videogen/ Debian -- Package Search Results -- videogen https://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=videogen&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all Your modeline will be something similar to: "3840x2160_30.00" 339.57 3840 4080 4496 5152 2160 2161 2164 2197 -HSync +Vsync (Be very careful because using an incorrect modeline may DAMAGE the display.) Once you have the right modeline, you need to pass it to xrandr for each session. If you are using a DM (e.g lightdm), you can configure it to run a script when starting each session. Here is how mine is (you should change it accordingly to your tv/monitor model and modeline): ~~~ #!/bin/bash # ## DISPLAY SETUP # Modeline for Panasonic Viera 32" HDMI LCD TV (model: TX-32LX52F) xrandr --newmode "1216x684_60" 74.160 1216 1356 1396 1648 684 707 712 750 +hsync +vsync xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 "1216x684_60" xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode "1216x684_60" ~~~ Regards al3xu5 -- Say NO to copyright, patents, trademarks and industrial design restrictions!
