We are further deviating from topic and contaminating it, I propose we delete our last messages. (Can we?)
hwinfo in any system I run it needs to run as root (# hwinfo –framebuffer) or you’ll see scrambled characters and it will return nothing at the end.
I used a tv screen for a while, large, 1920 resolution, but sure it was no computer monitor. It made my eyes ache after a while. It is different in some way. I know, you may not have an alternative, I hear you, but watch it.
I may be wrong, I don’t think inxi produces the same table of information, and I believe that if you switch monitors the table may change, even if your card doesn’t. This is detecting the monitor’s resolution through the ability of the card. This is the code you need for that vga variable. Also in grub there is a gfx line you can specify resolution that affects console. I struggled with a huge screen that I couldn’t read console output for a while.
