Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

my screen needs to run at 2540x1440, but always defaults to next larger size, which is too big. how to fix permanently, pls?

Is this Fossapup64 9.5?

What is providing the graphics?
What hardware?
Pup-Sysinfo can provide this info.

Post the info given in Pup-Sysinfo->Devices->Display->Summary

In a terminal/console
Enter xrandr
Does the output list the resolution you want to use?

Is Fossapup a frugal or live install, you have made a save, and boot using the save?

Good morning! (at least for me)

@boof
I think the correct resolution is 2560x1440 (not 2540x1440)

Maybe this cause an error and skip to the next resolution

but without more specific info, this is only a speculation

check the post above... is very important!!

Cheers!!

pls, how to cut and paste from terminal, as xandr op is very different from expected

In terminal
Highlight the text.
That copies.
Middle mouse button clicked to paste.

For other programs.
to paste.
Middle mouse button click.
or
Use the right click menu paste, that most other programs have.

default desktop image is too large for screen.

my screen needs to run at 2540x1440

Where are you getting this number?

it's wrong. it was listed in screen resolutions list, with default 31xx X 1xxx, and it was next one down. whatever i do, the screen resolution will not change. nb laptop monitor disabled, hdmi to main screen 65in 4k that puts the mouse on the 4k screen. i'm using xorg.conf i think

Hi @boof

ok, so if I'm not mistaken what you comment is the following:
You use an intel processor laptop connected to a 65 "4k tv connected by HDMI
Your laptop is an HP intel atom / celeron / pentium X5 processor integrated graphics card intel and etc (intel)

Well, your case is very similar to mine, the different thing is that I am a PC but I have the same problem, except that my base resolution does not exceed 1024x768 and I solved it with this pet that I had to create ...

But first I need to verify this information on your computer, open the terminal and paste these lines,

xrandr

cvt 2560 1440 60

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00"  312.25  2560 2752 3024 3488  1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 "2560x1440_60.00"

xrandr --size "2560x1440_60.00"

exit

If the information is correct, then you can install the pet without problems ... BUT first verify if this works

it was listed in screen resolutions list, with default 31xx X 1xxx,

What list? I still cannot see where you are getting this number.

i pasted all the code into terminal, no <enter> 2 butt mouse and my pc went blank. may have gone off, reboot no new resolution. would like load pet, pls post it.

HI @boof

checking your info, i found a error, you already copy line for line and the line

xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.00" 312.25 2560 2752 3024 3488 1440 1443 1448 1493 -hsync +vsync

you copy only a part of this that's why the script didn't work..

This is my script modified for your case

I really hope this time works succesfully

delete the fake "gz" of the script

In case of...
