<h2>displaying MATE on a 1366x768 screen</h2>
<h3>2026-06-15</h3>
<h4>xrandr to the rescue</h4>
<p>
Unfortunately several Ghostbsd MATE configuration windows are taller
than my Thinkpad X220's 768 pixels. I made both the top and bottom
panels autohide, but a better solution is to use xrandr:
</p>
<pre>sudo pkg install xrandr</pre>
<p>
type xrandr to get the name of your display, in my case LVDS-1 on my
Thinkpad X220.
</p>
<p>To change 16:9 screen resolution, you can type:</p>
<pre>
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --panning 1600x900 --scale 1.171x1.172</pre
>
<p>or</p>
<pre>
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --panning 1920x1080 --scale 1.406x1.406</pre
>
<p>To get back to the original resolution type:</p>
<pre>xrandr --output LVDS-1 --panning 1366x768 --scale 1x1</pre>
<p>
Here's a simple bash script that will rotate the screen resolution on
each call. I've added a MATE keyboard shortcut (CTRL+RIGHT) to run
this script. It is intended for my 1366x768 screen, so it will need
adapting for other screens.
</p>
<pre>
#!/usr/bin/env bash
RES="$(xdpyinfo | grep dimensions | sed -r 's/^[^0-9]*([0-9]+x[0-9]+).*$/\1/')"
# xdpy results can vary by 1 or two pixels
# so take the first two characters
RES="${RES:0:2}"
case "$RES" in
"13")
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --panning 1600x900 --scale 1.171x1.172
;;
"16")
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --panning 1920x1080 --scale 1.406x1.406
;;
*)
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --panning 1366x768 --scale 1x1
;;

<p>I doubt you can do that in Wayland.</p>
