Resolution - Change screen resolution dynamically
Published by Thomas Leonard
- Overview
This is a Zero Install feed. To add this program to your Applications menu, choose Zero Install -> Add New Program from the Applications menu. e.g. on Ubuntu:
If you don't see this menu item, install the zeroinstall-injector package from your distribution's repository, or from 0install.net.
Drag the feed's URL to the dialog box that appears. Other environments may use other systems. For example, if you are a ROX desktop user, drag the link to AddApp instead.
Alternatively, to run it from the command-line:
$ 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/Resolution
The 0alias command can be used to create a short-cut to run it again later.
If you don't have the 0launch command, download it from the 0install.net web-site, which also contains documentation about how the Zero Install system works.
- Full name
- Description
This program allows you to change the screen resolution at any time. The change is not permanent. This is useful when connecting a laptop to an external monitor or a projector, for example, which may require a different screen resolution. Resolution is simply a graphical front-end to the xrandr (X Rotate And Resize) command-line utility, which you will also need. Modern X servers (such as XFree86 and X.org) come with this program. If you don't have it, try upgrading your X server. Note that there is another, older, mechanism for changing resolution, often activated by pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Keypad Plus>. This still changes the resolution, but your desktop remains the same logical size (i.e. you 'zoom in' to the screen and must pan around to see your panel, etc).
