Changing screen resolution

[woomia]

I love, helloSystem! But can you change the screen resolution when running from the ISO? I'm using 0.6 on Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (HSW GT2).

Thanks

Yes, System -> Preferences -> Screen Settings -> right-click on your screen.

@PreyK was working on a native tool.

Thanks @probonopd

Are you seeing any change when running https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/releases/tag/experimental-13.0 @guckux?

Great work, did 2 short tests:

1. Booting with HD3000 only enabled, screen switching to full resolution, seems so far so fine.
2. Booting with Nvidia in Optimus mode with "System detect Optimus" - seems to be fallback to HD3000... for me, doesn't matter... Booting with dedicated Nvidia (discrete graphics) no Optimus, booting from stick with full resolution (boot messages), X11 has detected the 1920x1080 resolution, installing.
   Rebooting the newly installed system, the boot messages are in VGA resolution (doesn't matter for me, cosmetics :D ), X11 starts with supported Nvidia 390 version - GREAT! WoW!
   Good work done for FreeBSD 13-RELEASE dsitribution ;) .

Optimus

Since I have no Optimus hardware, I cannot test that is needed for it. But there are some packages:

nvidia-hybrid-graphics-0.5     NVIDIA secondary GPU configuration - Optimus Technology support
nvidia-hybrid-graphics-390-0.5 NVIDIA secondary GPU configuration - Optimus Technology support
nvidia-secondary-driver-470.74_1 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering on secondary device
nvidia-secondary-driver-390-390.144 NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering on secondary device
nvidia-settings-470.74         Display Control Panel for X NVidia driver
nvidia_gpu_prometheus_exporter-g20181028_1 NVIDIA GPU Prometheus exporter

If you can tell me what needs to be installed and how it needs to be configured, then maybe we can make it work?

boot messages are in VGA resolution

Yes, right now I am focusing on the Live image. Do you get the native resolution on that machine when booting the Live image? If yes, then it should be easy to apply the same setting to the installed version. Still working on that one.

Yes, booting from Stick in Live image supports full the high resolution.

Optimus depends - so far as I know - only to Laptops. I recognized first time with the actual helloSystem that they are available... Sorry for my nescience for this case - but I will have one look more for you!
