Small LMCE screen size (Resolved on Mar. 25 48288 load).
« on: March 15, 2014, 09:24:15 pm »
Hi,

In 12.04 with CRT and VGA screen I had this issue...

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=13459.0  see reply #6

...(CRT/VGA/8400GS) and I managed to get around it.

Now I am using completely different hardware (HDTV monitor (1680x1050 max), DVI/8500GS) and adding a modeline and modes either kicks me out to command prompt - no X window and I am provided with a small LMCE window.

I have tried AVWizard in various configuration 1080, 720, etc. but no luck.

I have tried various xorg.conf setups.

When I go to KDE desktop (via LMCE menu) the KDE screen is properly rendered.  Only LMCE screen is small.

Cheers.

Hi,

After a reload from scratch/restart my display is a mess - just weird video artifacts.

After less than 5 minutes the system reboots into the GNU GRUB menu.  I choose Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-60-generic and system goes through setup process.

Don't forget to check your network config.

cheers.

Hi,

After initial setup if I restart the system my screen goes wonkers but my LMCE setup screens eventually appear.

The messed up screen is the Kubuntu 12.04 load screen.

Cheers

Hi,

Does your screen come up the proper size and what did you pick as a size during AVWizard?

Thanks.

If there is no xorg.conf, the first screen of avwiz is sized small on some displays. Once you hit OK and select an appropriate size, it should be fixed.
I never quit... I just ping out.

Hi,

Did the Mar. 25 48288 release.

Went through AVWizard, chose my screen size and everything came up fine on new (to me) hardware.

Thanks.
