1024 x 600 resolution

Post by F4u5t »

Hello all,
I have a brand new install on a x64 laptop, which is connected hdmi to a 1024x600 touchscreen in my dash. Im running Debina Trixie with Gnome 48, and im having trouble finding a resolution that works, I am Mirroring the screen...the laptop can do higher res, but it is staying closed in the trunk anyway. I am having in Gnome and Hudiy, in Gnome it is losing the bottom on the On Screen Keyboard, which makes typing a pain, and Android auto is also chopped off.....the laptop has an AMD Radeon video if that matters, and help would be appreciated

Hello,
Gnome includes a feature for scaling the interface. We noticed that this is often automatically enabled for smaller screens and defaults to 150%.

You can verify this in the Gnome Display settings and change it back to 100%.

What is the manufacturer and model of the screen? Is it connected via HDMI? HDMI screens usually use EDID to advertise supported resolutions and modes.

Could you please post the output of wlr-randr command?

You can also try forcing the resolution directly in KMS via the cmdline. It can be added e. g. in /etc/default/grub.d/99-hudiy.cfg

1. sudo nano /etc/default/grub.d/99-hudiy.cfg
2. Change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vt.global_cursor_default=0 loglevel=0 video=HDMI-A-1:1024x600@60"
3. Update grub using sudo update-grub command

HDMI-A-1 is just an example; the correct value depends on how your screen is actually connected.
