Resolution of Xndx

[Frank Nitsche]

Hi, does somebody know, how the resolution of the virtual x-server
Xndx can be increased. Xbdx is the virtual X-server, which is used at
option "-nograph". When I start icfb -nograph and have a look at the
max. screen coordinates then I get 1024 x 868. Is there any command to
change this to a higher value? When I use hiGetMaxScreenCoords() at
the ciw (without nograph), then I get 1272x990.
We want to use icfb -nograph to produce simulation plots autmatically.
Therefore we must increase the value of MaxScreenCoords.

Best regards,
Frank Nitsche.

Since Xndx is for nongraphical purposes, there's no way to change the screen
size. If you want an arbitrary screen size, use a VNC server and display to
that. With current versions of DFII you can specify -nographE (for "nograph
emulation") if you want -nograph behavior, and use the -display argument (or
set the DISPLAY variable) to display to the VNC server.

Hi Pete,
thanks for your hint. We use now Xvfb as virtual X-server and -
nographE. It works fine. We're able to increase the screen resolution
up to 3000 pixel and above.
