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
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 !
Debadr.

If you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat forever...

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:

thank you

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.
