Screen Resolution

[Roland]

I'm using Viewsonic 1080p LCD monitor and when I boot PLoP I can barely make out the menu due to resolution quality.  Could you change the menu somehow to make it easier to see?  It probably looks great on a monchrome monitor of 1985 vintage, but it's barely discernible now.

hi,
i dont understand, can you make a photo?

you can simply change the resolution with the hotkeys ctrl page-up (higher resolution) or ctrl page-down (lower resolution) to see whats the best for you.

ctrl esc is switching to text mode

No, the menu just isn't written to display on an LCD screen. I tried all resolutions--oddly, the lowest res. was best. Still, there are lines through the menu and the letters are barely readable.

@ Roland
Are the lines, red?
I have this on my PC.
If you switch to text mode, they are gone.

Roland,
are you able to run any linux and send me the output of lspci?

Code Select Expand


lspci -v > lspci.txt

I suspect Icecube hit on the problem, but I haven't had a chance to try it--busy with HD issues and data storage now. Will try these soon.

Elmar, I attached the result of lspci.

Now it works fine at bootup (textmode).
Here is a picture to get an idea about the problem, when selecting one of the graphical modes:

Icecube,

That's the same I get. Only, yours looks slightly more readable. =)
