[SOLVED] Supported resolution on Kiosk Edition

[Debadr]

Hello friends !

I have a little issue with my Porteus Kiosk Edition 3.3.0, the maximum resolution that i can choose on my configuration file is 1024x768, if i choose a bigger resolution it ain't display.

Is that a bug ? or did i just miss something in my configuration file:

Code: Select all

connection=wired
network_interface=eth0
dhcp=yes
homepage=http://google.fr
allow_icmp_protocol=yes
primary_keyboard_layout=fr
kiosk_config=WebserverIP/kiosk/kioskconf.txt
screen_resolution=2024x768
root_password=123456
timezone=Europe/Paris
vnc_interactive=yes
vnc_password=123456
wallpaper=WebserverIP/kiosk/wal.jpg
wake_on_lan=yes
additional_components=09-x11vnc.xzm 08-ssh.xzm 05-flash.xzm

Iam using Virtualbox to run the Porteus Kiosk Edition. may be because the VBtools are not installed ?

Btw the xrandr comand

Code: Select all

xrandr -s 1600x768

don't work from the ssh shell. The error code is : Can't open display.

Sorry for my bad english and hopefully you can help me to sort this !

hello Debard,

you need 'guest additions' in order to support higher resolutions in VirtualBox.

its not easy to add them to the kiosk ISO (kernel compilation is needed) so i would recommend custom builds service:

Hello Fanthom,

First thank you for your answer !

hello Debard,

If i understand, if i install the Kiosk edition in a physical machine it will support (take) the maximum resolution of the screen ? even if it is more then 1024x768 ?

thank you.
