Setting the right monitor size D1336891160 Aglenda #Many people have trouble configuring their monitors to the right #size after the installation. The file /lib/vgadb contains #definitions for the most common display sizes and some peculiar #hardware that Bell Labs or other 9fans have used. Once you've found #the desirable size, set monitor= to that name in plan9.ini(8). If #you can't find an appropriate monitor entry, you can add your own #using the instructions in [Adding a monitor to vgadb]. If your #plan9.ini file isn't located in /n/9fat/plan9.ini, type # #! 9fat: # #For example, this entry is being typed on a T30 laptop with #1400x1050 display. The plan9.ini on this machine has the following #entry: # #! monitor=t23 # #You can also change the resolution afterwards with aux/vga. Have a #look at vga(8) for all details. In short: # #! aux/vga -m vesa -l 1280x1024x16 # #or # #! aux/vga -m vga -l # #to reset the display to a known state. # #Here's here is a list of some possible names for your display, for a #complete list see /lib/vgadb: # #! vga=640x480 # 60Hz, 31.5KHz #! vga=800x600 # 60Hz, 37.9KHz #! #! svga=640x480 #! svga=800x600 #! #! cinema=1280x768 # VAIO (pcg tr1mp in vmware). #! cinema=1152x768 # Titanium 550 (in virtual pc) #! #! xga=1024x768 #! lcd=xga #! multisync=1024x768 #! multisync=1024x768i #! multisync=1152x900 #! multisync=1280x1024 #! multisync=1280x1024i #! multisync=1376x1024 #! #! multisync65=multisync #! multisync65=1024x768 # 60Hz, 48.4KHz #! #! multisync75=multisync #! #! multisync110=multisync # Multisync monitors with video bandwidth up to 110MHz. #! #! multisync135=multisync # Multisync monitors with video bandwidth up to 135MHz. #! #! t23=1400x1050 # IBM Thinkpad #! t23=1280x1024 #! t23=1024x768 #! #! versa6xxx=1024x768 # NEC Versa 6030X/6200MX Laptop. #! versa6xxx=800x600 #! versa6xxx=640x480 #! #! 445x=1280x1024 # Nokia Multigraph 445X #! 445x=1600x1200 #! 445x=640x480 #! #! p815=1800x1350 # Viewsonic P815 #! p815=1792x1350 # 70Hz, xx.xKHz #! p815=1600x1200 # 75.4Hz, 93.5KHz #! p815=1024x768 #! #! sgi1600sw=1600x1024 # SGI 1600SW Flat Panel #! sgi1600sw=800x512 #
