[Level 2] Xrandr on OpenSolaris in EeePC.
I install OpenSolaris on my EeePC, but I got a problem about VGA output (for projector).
My OpenSolaris can only support 800x600 resolution, but I think it could be higher.
Then my colleague told me that I modify the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
In normal case, the steps as the following:
1. check your device.
# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 800 x 480, maximum 800 x 800
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 800x480+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
800x480 60.0*+
640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9
720x400 85.0
640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
#
2. connect your project then try again.
# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 800 x 480, maximum 800 x 800
VGA connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
800x600 60.3 + 85.0 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 85.0 85.0 75.0 72.8 72.8 75.0 66.7 60.0 59.9
720x400 85.0 70.1
640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
LVDS connected 800x480+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
800x480 60.0*+
640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9
720x400 85.0
640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
#
3. use xrandr to auto detection the suitable resolution.
# xrandr --auto
4. assign by manual.
# xrandr --output VGA --mode 800x600
5. close VGA output.
# xrandr --output VGA --off
But in my EeePC, the xrandr only can got 800x600 for VGA output.
It should be higher!
So I have to change xorg.conf. The step as following:
1. check xorg.conf is exist or not.
# ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. If not, create one. (When you want to create a new one, you have down to Single-User-Mode first)
# init s
...
# Xorg -configure
...
Your xorg.conf file is /root/xorg.conf.new
To test the server, run 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new'
#
3. move the xorg configuration file to /etc/X11
# mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. modify xorg.conf, add the red words into the file.
# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

#
6. Change VGA output with 10
# xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024
OK! I can use 1280x1024 for VGA output now!
Wish this helps.

hi can you do panning for LVDS output also... in Linux there is a small panning utility that can enlarge virtual screen. Have you tried compiling the utility? Does it work?
ReplyDeleteHi sir:
ReplyDeleteI never complier even use that before.
I'm looking forward to your sharing next time.
