Sol 10 6-06 login screen settings
|
|
|
How can one alter the settings dtlogin uses to create the login screen?
I have a Dell 19" flat panel and it complains that it is not at optimum
resolution every time Solaris starts up. Would like to force this
screen to 1280x1024 @ 60Hz. Possible? Been looking through the docs
but just haven't found the place where it's described.
thank you |

You will have to find the documentation for your screen
and look for the MODELINE string to put into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file for this particular monitor type.
the MODELINE parameter describes a screen type to Xorg if the
DDE screen discovery fails.
Search for , xorg modeline and you monitor type identifier on
google.
or simply ask Dell for what the modeline string should be

It's the X server configuration you have to modify - dtlogin has no
say in the matter. Search for details on configuring xorg.conf.
