[opensuse] SuSE 13.1: resolution of boot screen?

As I wrote in "Re: [opensuse] after update, modprobe does not find libz.so.1" my 12.1 system did not come up again. Since I had to wipe / the time had come to upgrade to 13.1 That worked without problems. I also replaced the nouveau driver that was installed for my GTX570 with a NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.38 (already tested on the 12.1 system), which silenced the fan of my GTX570 for reasons unkown to me. But since that update the resolution of the boot screen looks strange, somehow like 640x400 which was not the case in the 12.1 system. I checked Internet and /etc/X11/xorg.conf, tried corrections with edid (DELL U2412M) but nothing helped. It now has some 1024x768 resolution but it still is not a sharp picture on the terminal screen. It is all ok within KDE4 though. I never had to tweak that stuff in 12.1 but I remember doing it all the time at times of sax and sax2 . ;-) Is there some known bug with 13.1 and the nvidia drivers? Do I have to tweak something beside /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the Grub2 settings in Yast2?

Not that I am aware, but I don't find the wide screen formats supported in text mode.

...

Do I have to tweak something beside /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the Grub2 settings in Yast2?

Yast is the manner I set my 1920x1080 screen which now displays 1280x1024. I don't rmember trying 1920x1080. the following code appears in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg: if loadfont $font ; then set gfxmode=1280x1024 load_video insmod gfxterm set locale_dir=$prefix/locale set lang=POSIX insmod gettext fi terminal_output gfxterm If you have tried yast, you apparently didn't adjust correctly ??? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There was a comment by Andrey a while back stating that altering boot settings in YaST did not work as there was a problem with ,something-or-other> and changes were not implemented. But this may have rectified by now so it's worth trying to use YaST to alter the bootloader. But as you say above you can alter the resolution in the grub.config after which you must execute (??)mkinitrd or is it just execute 'grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.config' ? You'd know better than I which one to execute (or something else :-) ) .

Hmm, yast2/grub2 should adjust that or am I wrong here? Yast2 gives me a couple of settings that I tried and that either resulted in some kind of 640x400 :-( or in the above 1024x768 which is not that sharp to read.

Maybe just updating the system will work? Other question: can I update the system so that the files are stored in a directory for later use on some other machine?

Markus, before your brain explodes from reading the usual "but what about this" or "but you are doing this wrong" arguments which most people in this list thoroughly enjoy engaging in :-) , so this - which is the result of Andrey clarified a point which I initially misunderstood. do this. But firstly you must understand that the resolution you get when first booting and getting the grub menu may NOT be the final resolution which you will get when you actually login as User into oS. I cannot really explain this difference in resolution but I will just simply state that while my monitor can handle a resolution of 2560x1940 the grub boot menu shows up in (?)1920x1080 resolution. The 1920x1080 resolution is set in YaST by configuring the bootloader parameters while the actual monitor's resolution is set elsewhere - but in case with having 1920x1080 resolution you won't have to worry about this. So...... Go into Yast>System>Bootloader>Boot Loader Settings>Boot Loader Options and find the 2 places where the resolution of the monitor are being set. Select '1920x1080'. The click on OK and let the changes be installed. (And in doing this on my own system to see what I should be advising you to do I think I have just stuffed up my own installation! :-( No, not because of what I just wrote for you but because my system is not a single oS installation but has 5 systems installed and which requires special treatment to be able to boot and run any one of them. Sigh...... But don't worry about this, do what I mentioned above.) After you have done the above reboot the system and you should have your grub menu showing up in 1920x1080 format. BUT, BUT you should be aware that just because the manual for your video card states that it is capable of 1920x1080 resolution doesn't mean that setting the resolution in the bootloader will give you a grub menu in 1920x1080. I have a nVideo card capable of 1920x1080 but the grub menu only appears in 1280x?; however once the system is booted and I login I get 1920x1080 resolution. (As I mentioned above, my monitor has a resolution of 2560x1440 but the grub menu only shows 1920x1080. Nothing to worry about - it's the final resolution when using the system is what is important. At the moment my wife's computer is showing the grub menu in something like 1024x768 but when oS starts the resolution is 1920x1080. I just haven't to alter the settings on her computer, that's all :-) .)

Ah, I couldn't find the command which gives the resolutions supported by the video card; what you mention may be the one. However, I have one video card (nVidia Geforce (?)550) which shows that 1920x1080 is "not supported" using the check as you suggest above (or something similar which I used [when I did remember what that command was :-) ]) but when oS is installed and the nVidia driver is installed the system runs in 1920x1080 resolution.

Post-Grub, once the kernel loads, whatever is supported by the video BIOS is mostly or entirely irrelevant. The kernel and video drivers work based upon what the display supports, not the video BIOS, and may even offer modes that the display does not explicitly support. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

And this problem is STILL in place even after all this time?!

it is definitely present in 13.1 and I do not see any updates that would affect it. I do not know if it is fixed in Factory; browsing yast-bootloader code suggests that it may have been fixed.

The screen after grub2 where all the messages of the upcoming system are shown (maybe my terminology is not correct?). This uses the same resolution as e.g. tty1, tty2 and so on.

I also replaced the nouveau driver that was installed for my GTX570 with a NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.38 (already tested on the 12.1 system), which silenced the fan of my GTX570 for reasons unkown to me.

But since that update the resolution of the boot screen looks strange, somehow like 640x400 which was not the case in the 12.1 system. I checked Internet and /etc/X11/xorg.conf, tried corrections with edid (DELL U2412M) but nothing helped. It now has some 1024x768 resolution but it still is not a sharp picture on the terminal screen.

What exactly do you call "boot screen"? Because xorg.conf comes rather late and hardly can affect what I understand as boot screen.

The screen after grub2 where all the messages of the upcoming system are shown (maybe my terminology is not correct?). This uses the same resolution as e.g. tty1, tty2 and so on.

So you mean plymouth then. Does it have the same resolution as grub2 screen or is it different? Is resolution on grub2 screen OK? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

plymouth then. Is that new since 12.1 ? Resolution in Grub2 screen is ok. Resolution of "boot screen"/plymouth is different even if I set up the same in Yast2>System>Bootloader>Boot Loader Settings>Boot Loader Options . Can I tune plymouth resolution somewhere else? thx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I "tune" it out entirely by tabooing it during package selection at installation time, but it can be removed any time after installtion. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Resolution in Grub2 screen is ok.

Could you please upload to susepaste.org /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /etc/default/grub output of "journalctl -b" (as root of course).

I may have been too fast in drawing conclusion. You say "all the messages of the upcoming system are shown" and plymouth by default *hides* all messages. Could you make a photo of this screen and also upload to suspaste.org? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
