How to expand resolution - Remix OS for PC

Hi,
I connect the PC to a big TV display. But, Remix doesn't fit the whole TV screen. Any way to resize Remix to fit the screen?
Thanks

Easiest thing to try is:
wm size 1920x1080
In ALT&F1 screen; if your tv is 1080p - this will also cause the PC screen icons to shrink
Alternatively there are probably so grub video=* command to look into.

wm = window manager;
open terminal or press ALT&F1 and type wm to see for yourself;
You can use it to override the reported screen size; it might work in your case if you TV is simply mirroring the PC display; try it and report back.
And you can always revert the PC size back with wm size reset

It didn't work. The resolution expanded, but the window screen remained. [emoji20]

Try adding: video=DVI-I-1:[email protected]
Or whatever resolution you need to the grub command line
Or perhaps HDMI-A-1 instead of DVI-I-1
Look at /sys/class/drm/ for possible connectors [DVI/HDMI/eDP] to use.

I know this thread is kinda old but has anyone figured this out? I've tried everything possible and I still get the small screen output. I like using this but the Asus screen is too small.

The easiest way I found was to adjust it on the kernel command line. Just add DPI=220 to the linux boot line in grub. If that's too big/small adjust the number.
The easiest way to do that is, at bootup in grub, select the option to edit the boot command. I think that's "e". Then find the line that says "linux some stuff" and go to the end of the line and add the "DPI=220". Then press F10 or whatever to boot.
Or look in this thread where they do a better job of explaining it than I do.

Dude thanks a lot for this. The only part that helped me the most is the boot command where you have to press "e". I was all thinking it was a file in the installation folders. :silly:

Great, glad to be helpful. I want to make sure you realize that "e" edit is only temporary. To make it permanent, you'll have to find the "grub.cfg" file someplace on your computer, and edit it to make the changes permanent.
