Some extra notes. If your screen goes blank shortly after the first part of the boot splash, you likely have an Intel modesetting framebuffer. If your machine is using an Intel 8xx or 9xx series framebuffer, you will want to do all of the following. Uncomment the line modesetfb in build.conf Comment the line USE_XRANDR in thinstation.conf.buildtime Make sure you get the correct bootresolution set in build.conf for the splash resize Do a build --allmodules until you have succesfully copied over a modules.list from the target machine. ________________________________ From: Don Cupp <don...@ya...> To: "thi...@li..." <thi...@li...> Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [Thinstation-general] Help with xorg xrandr is the modern method of over-riding the detected and initialized screen resolutions in xorg. It can also tell you what screen resolutions are available if you run it in an xterm. A super simple way to get the requested resolution is to comment out the USE_XRANDR line. Only include the fbdev xorg driver. This solution is easy, but does not provide any sort of acceleration. If you run hwlister.sh, a file called vbe_modes.list will be collected and an attempt will be made to deposit it on your tftp server, other wise it will be left at /. This file contains all the available video modes that your card supports. If you include all of the xorg drivers and build with the --allmodules, you should be able to figure out what driver X wants to use by reading the /var/log/Xorg log. These lines are largely depricated, but still honored assuming that the xorg driver will work with them. SCREEN_RESOLUTION="1280x1024 | 1024x768 | 800x600 | *" SCREEN_COLOR_DEPTH="16 | 8 | 24 | *" ________________________________ From: Simon Baev <sb...@ca...> To: thi...@li... Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 7:24 PM Subject: [Thinstation-general] Help with xorg Hi All, I'm having difficulties in setting up screen resolution... and I have very limited knowledge about xorg. My situation is as follows: 1. I use TS 2.5 2. I use thinclient (Wyse C10L) which I do know supports resolution of 1280x1024 (this thinclient has built-in OS where I can setup the resolution) 3. I built a PXE image with "--allmodules" and enabling all "xorg" related packages. 4. Once I booted from the image I can see "boot screen" resolution of 1280x1024 but IceWM (and both rDesktop and NX sessions) start in 1024x768 even though: [thinstation.conf.buildtime] SCREEN_RESOLUTION="1280x1024 | 1024x768 | 800x600 | *" SCREEN_COLOR_DEPTH="16 | 8 | 24 | *" At some point I found that parameter "USE_XRANDR" in thinstation.conf.buildtime affects the behaviour of TS but I cannot find out how exactly: sometimes it brings just blank screen for all of my sessions, and sometimes it sets lower resolution. I do not really want to bother anyone here to teach me basics of XORG rather I'd appreciate some hints or references to any kinds of documentation (say about parameters affecting resolution in TS). And also I need a hint of finding which XORG package I need to leave in build.conf...
