PS3 ubuntu + IN-OS Resolution

Post by wolverin0 »

all tutorials involve TV resolution, but what about ubuntu? I mean, I have xres 612 and yres 430 for my SDTV, no black borders (except for a bit from lower and right, how can i center the screen also? so i dont miss that tiny, but precious space) thats the complete screen resolution, but what about ubuntu? like in windows > screen properties > configuration > res : 1280x1024 (for example)

i thought it was editing "xorg.conf" from X11 folder, but i edited it with this code (just because i saw many resolutions):

Code: Select all

Section "Files"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"

    FontPath    "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi"

in Ubuntu display i just get my 612x430 resolution, i cant choose anything else. (ive already tried just editing from Section "Screen" to the bottom)

thanks in advance, hope someone can help me!
i've already made much progress and learnt a lot of stuff, but i want to have it 100% functionable, because i cant surf with a tiny firefox :(

the only thing that xorg.conf changed, is the ubuntu's login screen, wich now i see very small letters, but when i log, letters and res are like always...
