console resolution

Console >

With a default install of Lubuntu 14.04, going back to various earlier versions, I had an excellent console resolution.

Upgrading to the proprietary video drivers destroyed that feature, dropping it to.. 80×24 or so. This isn’t just terrible, it’s terribad on a widescreen. Because of the resolution switch, going from X windows to the console is extra-slow, which made me never want to use it.

These are some notes when I was trying to solve this problem. I eventually gave up, and just used the open source video drivers.

It failed my review.

A live distribution focused on security and secure communications.

It has a lot of goodies cooked-in. I played with it for a bit, and think it’s ok.. but I’d need to hack on it a bit to make it work more comfortably for me.

  • Properly titled Liberté Linux

  • Abandoned

    • As of 2015-04-16 the project is dormant/dead. If it woke up it would use systemd, as Gentoo does.
