Hi all, Something that's bugged me for a long time with XOrg is that there seems to be no way to recover when an application crashes after changing the screen resolution. In the past I have usually been able to recover with Alt+Ctrl+KP_Plus but right at this moment those keys do nothing and I am completely unable to change out of 640x480.
Do I have to do a Microsoft-Windows and restart just to get my screen res back? X11 log: ... (II) Loading extension XFree86-VidModeExtension ... (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "2560x1600" (II) Entity 0 shares no resources (II) Entity 1 shares no resources (II) Screen 0 shares mem & io resources (II) Screen 1 shares mem & io resources (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "640x480" (II) Entity 0 shares no resources (II) Entity 1 shares no resources $ xrandr Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". RandR extension missing $ xvidtune Unable to query monitor info It's beyond me how the app was even able to change the screen resolution in the first place! Unfortunately it's not open source so I can't copy the code out and recompile it to set the resolution back :-( Please let me know if anyone knows how to change X11 screen resolutions without closing down everything and restarting. Many thanks, Adam. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
