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
