Ernie Rader
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýGood morning, Chuck!!And thank you Nigel for your suggestion of the outboard SSD instead of the MicroSD card. I do appreciate your replying to my ?message. ?Under normal circumstances, your suggestion for a larger monitor would be quite valid. ?However, my wife (Rita, and KD6BNV) and I are retired, and we live full-time in our big RV where space is somewhat limited. ?I have a 51¡± flat-screen TV that I¡¯ve tried, but that¡¯s the other end of being extreme, and the resolution is a bit poor. ?Besides, it¡¯s clear across the room (maybe 10 feet away), and the whole idea of a larger monitor gets degraded by distance and resolution. ?My little 9 incher can easily be brought right up next to my nose, but that¡¯s a bit awkward at times as well. ?I¡¯ve right-clicked on the task bar, and clicked on ¡°Panel Settings¡± and ¡°Panel Appearance¡± making adjustments there, and that¡¯s helped quite a bit. ?I¡¯ve also clicked on the raspberry logo in the top-left corner of the startup menu, gone from there to ¡°Preferences¡±, and then to ¡°Raspberry Pi Configuration.¡± ?From there I¡¯ve looked at ¡°Display¡± and changed the ¡°Headless Resolution¡± to 1920x1080. ?That¡¯s helped too. ?Maybe those are the only settings that can be made, and if so, a bigger monitor may be my only ¡°resolution.¡± (pun). ?I was just hoping that maybe a setting in /bin/?/?/???? in the boot-up syntax might make a larger configuration change, and settings I¡¯ve enumerated above might be backed off a bit. It might also be worth mentioning that I¡¯m using a fresh MicroSD card with Bullseye for the OS. ?I understand that this is a relatively new distro, and one that many may not be that familiar with. ?I know I¡¯m certainly not. ?I was directed to use this with a very handy program called ¡°HamClock.¡± ?What a wonderful and informative piece of software!! ?I would recommend this to everyone in a ham radio environment as the amount of information it presents is phenomenal. ?I¡¯ve taken to leaving it on all the time I¡¯m using my station. I think at this point if I¡¯m unable to glean any further information here in this regard, I may take a chance and contact the HamClock author and see if he has any suggestions. ?I would think that if he¡¯s clever enough to author such a detailed program, he might also know how to make the changes I seek. Thank you both again for your efforts, and I¡¯d be happy to detail any further information here as my quest continues. 73 to all, Ernie, W5NH P.S. At 79, I really do understand vision deterioration. ?Where did it go? ? Nigel Gunn, G8IFF/W8IFF <nigel@...> wrote:
