hi all

i have installed dreamlinux on my aao. but the sreensize is very bad 800x600. i tryed some guides on this forum, but i cant make it right.

so can anyone try to help me, so i can get my screen to 1024x600?

have you tried editing your xorg.conf file? It is found in the folder /etc/X11

if you open a terminal and execute the following commad:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

You can then change the resolution to the desired setting. Remember to backup the old config file before editing it.

Let us know if that helps.

Hi again.


Here is form my xorg

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
        Monitor         "AUO LCD Monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Modes           "1024x600"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

its the right screensize, but why is everything so big?

And how can i get compiz on? maybe teh compiz not work in aao?

[chadfluegge]

Can you post a screenshot of what you're talking about?

[neptun2211]

Hi

I mean the icons is too big, but i fixed by turn down the Font DPI.

But when i turn on the compiz, the system turn to be so slow. Can i dont use compiz on AAO? why?

[chadfluegge]

ahh...ok, I gotcha; glad that you cleared that up.

Regarding comiz, I'm sure that it is a hardware demand issue...meaning that you don't have enough oomph to run it? I have an eeepc900 and compiz runs slow on it too.

hope that helps,

Ok, i see.

How can i get the windows too get over the awnbar when it is max?

Do you have tips and tricks to get the DL too work nice on AAO?

Hi neptun2211,

this configuration in the awn-manager puts awn into the background, when a window is maximized. 

[neptun2211]

hi!


Ok, and when i not have compiz on? how can i make it by not turn on compiz? to get the window to maximized?

When you do not have compiz enabled you are using the Engage dock.
You can change the settings for Engage by using the Engage Admin in System Tools.
Unfortunately I am not at my DL box so I can not show you an example.
Hopefully someone else can help you with this.

Or if you are comfortable with using the terminal, you can have a look at: Howto Hack Everything in Engage.

Hi!

Ok, i am now in the engage admin, but i cant find any settings about maximize windows. where can i find it?

and that is one more thing.

look at this:



I dont have 1024x600 screen. but in the xorg i have:


Section "Device"
   Identifier   "Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option       "AccelMethod" "exa"
        Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
   BusID      "PCI:0:2:0"
   Option   "May_Need_ForceBIOS"   "1"
   Option   "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"   "1"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "AUO LCD Monitor"
   Option      "DPMS"
   HorizSync   30-81
   VertRefresh   56-76
   DisplaySize     195 113
   Option          "NoDDC"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
   Identifier   "Default Screen"
   Device      "Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
   Monitor      "AUO LCD Monitor"
   DefaultDepth   24
   SubSection "Display"
      Modes      "1024x600"

Do i have 1024x600 or not?

[Resa]

Ok, i am now in the engage admin

What you show is the Dreamlinux Control Panel (DCP) not the Engage Admin.

[neptun2211]

Hi.

I made it the window is now over the engagebar

The screenshoot i posted is about screen resolution.
But what are you thinking about the screensize?

Do you now?

[chadfluegge]

I would say that you have it... How, may you ask, do I know?

If you check out the properties of the image you posted, it shows that it is 1024x600.

So, my best guess - and it is a guess... - is that you do indeed have 1024x600.

Hope that helps!
