Hi, I'm having dificulties booting a foxconn E-350 barebone at a resolution of 1980x1080. On Beta3, it worked fine, but on Beta5, no matter what I've tried, X always starts at 1024x768. I attach X logs, vbe_modes.list and xrandr generated on beta3. On vbe_modes.list it lists resolutions of 1920x1440, that are not present on machine/NT-A3500/vbe_modes.list of beta5. Is there any option that I must now set to get 1920x1080 resolution? Thanks, Elio Coutinho |

Elio, I just recently received one of these machines. The hardware is very very very new. All available thin releases do not have dri or kms support for the video card. I have those features working in my local branch, but I am in the process of rectifying the build process to accommodate the changes I had to make. You might be able to get something working with the following key options. in build.conf, #modesetfb param bootresolution 1400x1050-32 #Highest resolution the card will go to without KMS during Splash. package xorg-radeon in thinstation.conf.buildtime #USE_XRANDR #XRANDR_OPTIONS and no other screen resolution settings or bit depth settings. ________________________________ From: Elio Coutinho <eco...@fc...> To: developer <thi...@li...> Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 11:43 AM Subject: [Thinstation-developer] screen resolution on Foxconn E-350 Barebone Hi, I'm having dificulties booting a foxconn E-350 barebone at a resolution of 1980x1080.

It may have been xorg-ati come to think of it.

Thanks Don. I've followed your directions, and although I have commented out SCREEN_RESOLUTION on all configuration files, the system sets this variable to the same value specified on bootresolution: ts_d027886c370c:~# echo $SCREEN_RESOLUTION 1400x1050 The driver set in xconfig is radeon, and resolution is also set to that value, for all depths, as is specified on packages/xorg7/etc/init.d/x: ts_d027886c370c:~# grep Modes /etc/X11/x.config-1 | head -1 Modes "1400x1050" Even when I specify SCREEN_RESOLUTION="1920x1080", it is ignored, and set to the same value of bootresolution. I think xconfig Modes should be configured from what is specify on SCREEN_RESOLUTION, at thinstation.conf. In my company, a visually challenged person uses a 22'' monitor at 1280x1024. It should be possible to start X at this resolution, and not from what was chosen on bootresolution. I usually set bootresolution to 1024, so that I can use the same image on different hardware. In short, please consider setting SCREEN_RESOLUTION from what was set on the configuration file, and not from what was set at bootresolution.

Hi Don, I've just figured it out! If XRANDR_OPTIONS is not set, Xorg uses the same resolution specified by bootresolution. During build, PREFERED_RES is set to this value, and then SCREEN_RESOLUTION is set to PREFERED_RES, ignoring what was specified on thinstation.conf-xxx configuration file. You can check for the existence of SCREEN_RESOLUTION, before changing its value, at packages/base/etc/thinstation.functions: screen_res() { if [ -z "$SCREEN_RESOLUTION" ]; then if [ "$video" != "uvesafb:off" ]; then SCREEN_RESOLUTION=`echo $video |cut -d ":" -f2 |cut -d "-" -f1` else SCREEN_RESOLUTION=$PREFERED_RES fi fi } This allows one to specify SCREEN_RESOLUTION once again. As I said, if I try to specify XRANDR_OPTIONS, Xorg crashes, so xrandr is not an option for now.
