[SOLVED] Lenovo S10-3 screen resolution

[cjcboy2]

Hi!

I tried adjusting my settings from control center, rebooted several times yet the resolution is the same at minimal (1024 x 768) making icons and display large.

My video card is: N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller


Am I missing something here? Perhaps a recommended display settings?


Thanks

the s10 is 1024*600 isn't? a netbook with touchscreen

are you using kde4?  have you tried to set resolution on pclinux control center first?

then on configure my desktop?

Hi!
It is a netbook but not a touch screen. I tried adjusting resolution from both control center and display settings in configure desktop. I rebooted several times but still the max resolution is only 1024 x 600.

 I also tried updating my repo and it hit an ATI display driver update. I installed it and seen an ATI software. I launched it but I did get some error. Here is the screeen shot..

Here is the screenshot:

yes, the s10-3t is the touchscreen, yours is a normal netbook

this one is a 1024x600 10.1 inch screen

the video card is a intel gma3150, no ati there, why you mention ati?

the maximum resolution is 1024x600, is it still giving you 1024x768?

if not, it is working just as it should

Hi!

This is my laptop: S10-3 (10" netbook-not touchscreen)

http://shopap.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/phweb/LenovoPortal/en_PH/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=3634951826AE4D3881BFFF1AC5FCD957&current-category-id=4E3246DAA5444C7F80603EE84E02F931&tabname=Gallery#tabstart

ATI is the software / graphics software PCLOS has installed when I updated my repo. But Im not sure if that supports my hardware (I guess not). Sorry for confusions

Further specifications returns Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator GMA3150 as my video card. So 1024 x 600 should be the max resolution for this hardware? Or what else can I adjust here so I can get the best resolution? As you can see, my icons and window are quite huge. I even use the horizontal scroll bars in my browser just to view a web page in full

Thanks

i already understood that it is not the touchscreen model, the no touch and the touch has the same hardware, the only difference is that one has touchscreen and the screen can be turned 180 degrees to become a tablet pc

"So 1024 x 600 should be the max resolution for this hardware? Or what else can I adjust here so I can get the best resolution?"

the maximum resolution for that screen is 1024x600, it was designed to work that way

if that is what you have now, it is working correctly

the limit is not the operating system or the video card, the screen itself was designed to work this way under this circumstances

if you want more resolution you are going to need a external monitor or a new netbook with a newer screen at 11" so it works a 1336xsomething

"As you can see, my icons and window are quite huge. I even use the horizontal scroll bars in my browser just to view a web page in full"

about the size of the icons, please post a screenshot of what you see to be sure to understand what is going on, you can use postimage.org as free service to upload screenshots because here i have everything properly at the right sizes, share a link to a image you uploaded

in pclinux control center/hardware/configure video card verify that the system sees a screen capable of that resolution, on my netbook it says that it is a flat panel 1024x600 on the monitor section and in the resolution 1024x600 24bpp

in kde control center(also called configure your desktop)/hardware/display and monitor/size and orientation a lvsd1 at 1024x600 at 60Hz

"ATI is the software / graphics software PCLOS has installed when I updated my repo"

the drivers for nvidia and ati comes preinstalled if someone needs them but that doesn't mean that the system is going to use them with the wrong hardware, the intel drivers are usually detected and set correctly without the user intervention

"I even use the horizontal scroll bars in my browser just to view a web page in full"

this is normal for such small screen when viewing a big page, remember that a netbook is small in many ways

Ok.. I think that is the max resolution the hardware can get.

Thanks for the help.
