About this video

A 2013 recording on fixing the screen resolution in BackTrack 5 R3.

The idea and the problem

Running a Linux distribution on hardware or a virtual machine sometimes yields a wrong resolution that makes it unusable.

What you will learn

  • That resolution issues usually come from the display driver, not the whole system
  • That setting up the workspace comes before any use

Technical archive — recorded 2013

BackTrack is discontinued; modern distributions are the supported alternative.
