From: IVI [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rodney Nunya Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2014 12:39 AM To: Ray·Bloodworth Cc: ivi Subject: Re: [IVI] Trying to install Tizen on VMWare <snip> Trying to follow some of the directions on the wiki to get a web application running but I think I need to expand the screen because it is pretty small on my screen. I believe it is only 800x600. I tried to run the ICO home screen and it does come up but is unusable. I tried to follow the directions to make a different screen but not sure what I did wrong. I copied and pasted the following lines to the end of the /etc/xdg/weston/weston.ini file as they are listed here: [output] name=UNKNOWN1 mode=1280x720 Then rebooted and nothing different happened. I didn't try entering this line which is also mentioned but curious if I am missing something: [output] name=UNKNOWN1 mode=77.59 720 768 848 976 1280 1281 1284 1325 -hsync +vsync Would I use one or both lines? Only the latter one will work in VMware (at least that’s the case in all configs I’ve tried). Both lines are meant to achieve the same results by setting the size of your virtual screen to a 720p screen in portrait mode. The catch is that the first entry here above will only work if there is a 1280x720 mode advertised by your (here virtual) monitor and that’s not the case in VMware. The second entry gives a complete modeline instead which allows to work around that issue. I am a relative newbie to this stuff. I would consider myself a beginner level Linux person but I am very familiar with with. I have been a PC person for the most part for past 20+ years. I do have experience programming in many languages so I am no newbie to that stuff. I just need a little help getting this up and running so I understand what I am doing. Also, if the screen is NOT "UNKNOWN1" what command can I use to tell what the current screen is? The output name is always UNKNOWN1 in VMware but it will be different on other systems (either physical or virtual). To find out what output is detected on your system, you can take a look at the weston logs (they are most easily accessible by logging in as 'root' and using ‘journalctl –b’ to view all system logs (for that boot). Thanks for your help! HTH… and Happy New Year! Geoffroy
