Ly Only Taking Up Part of the Screen #567

Closed VoxAndrews closed 6 months ago

VoxAndrews commented 10 months ago

Ly only seems to take up part of the screen, notably the centre portion of it. Is there any way to set the resolution of Ly or not?

I think you may need to set the resolution of grub?

this is just the way your emulator displays lower resolutions. on a real computer this would display at the mode of the lowest-resolution connected monitor in the top-left of all monitors, and on a vm, like was mentioned previously, you need to change grub's resolution.

@VoxAndrews It looks like you're using VirtualBox (judging by the small bottom bar). If so, the reason Ly (and consequently, the TTY) are displaying like that is because I believe the Guest Additions don't load automatically by default on Linux. As a workaround, you can try to make them load before Ly (perhaps as a system service, if that's possible) or, as already mentionned before, change the resolution in your bootloader configuration to better suit your needs.

However, this is not an Ly issue, so I'm closing it.
