Hi,
I've created a USB LiveCD however the max resolution available is lower than
what I would like.
Is there documentation somewhere that shows how to alter this before I go
trying to make my own Xorg.conf ?
In SL6 there is no longer a xorg.conf file. The X configuration is done by the
auto configuration of X.
If you create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, it will fit you actual hardware. But the X server will most probably fail to start, if you use your Live USB stick on
an other hardware.
Maybe somebody can jump in, who as more experience with the new X server auto
configuration. How can it be altered without creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
I would suggest to change the resolution as user with
gnome-display-properties
Also, how to alter the boot resolution? There appears to be no grub.conf in the
usual place.
The Live USB and LiveCD are not using grub as bootloader. They use
syslinux/isolinux. The configuration files are on the USB or CD
syslinux/syslinux.cfg
or
isolinux/isolinux.cfg
you have to change the boot options in these files
