[SunHELP] Problem with Solaris 10 Desktop resolution

[RichT (list addr)]

I have access to a Solaris 10 box with a desktop right now, but on my
Solaris 11 box i would use something like this:


== Calculate VESA CVT (Coordinated Video Timing) modelines for use with X.
==
~# cvt -v 1920 1200 60
# 1920x1200 59.88 Hz (CVT 2.30MA) hsync: 74.56 kHz; pclk: 193.25 MHz
Modeline "1920x1200_60.00"  193.25  1920 2056 2256 2592  1200 1203 1209
1245 -hsync +vsync



==  Create the new mode useing the output from cvt ==
~# xrandr --newmode "1920x1200_60.00"  193.25  1920 2056 2256 2592  1200
1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync

== check the new mode ==
~# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 2048 x 2048
VGA1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

   1920x1080      60.0*+   60.0
   1680x1050      60.0
   1280x1024      75.0     60.0
   1440x900       59.9
   1280x960       60.0
   1280x720       60.0
   1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0
   832x624        74.6
   800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2
   640x480        72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0
   720x400        70.1
   1280x1024_60.00   59.9
  1920x1200_60.00 (0x136)  193.2MHz
        h: width  1920 start 2056 end 2256 total 2592 skew    0 clock
74.6KHz
        v: height 1200 start 1203 end 1209 total 1245           clock
59.9Hz


== Add the new mode to the display VGA1 ==
# xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1920x1200_60.00"


== use the mode ==
~# xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1920x1200_60.00"

Ritchie
