Hi,
since im sick of MS Vista on the Shift I've installed the ultimate OS Ubuntu but got a problem with the resolution I've tried almost everything but cant get any higher resolution than 800x600.
Anyone managed to configure X to display 1024x768?
If so can u please post your xorg.conf file?

I have noted that the screen on the liberated WinMo shift has blank spaces to the right and to the left of the screen. The combined total area of wasted screen is almost 2 inches. Question is: is there a way one can utilize the full screen with WinMo for the the Today screen and for most of the programmes in their default application? I guess for the programmes that have full screen capability that might be possible. will check on that......
One other question which might be the subject of other threads here: is it possible to change the screen resolution in WinMo side? Sorry if I have asked something that may have been answered elsewhere.

If I have understood what you mean ... everything is about switch from 640x480 to 800x480 (wide screen) but it is a well known issue and I think that nobody has been able to make it support the 800x480 resolution.. that's why you get this wasted space.
As the resolution is 640x480, you will never be able to get full today plugin or full screen program with 800x480 resolution... unless you get the 800x480 resolution to work.
You should ask "why not 800x480 by default from HTC?".... simple : no 800x480 support in WM6 sadly !
To get the 800x480 resolution, it first needs a rom with WinMob 6.1 (I think) or later .. which is not easy. And having that kind of rom may still be not enough.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not true I'm afraid.
The Toshiba Portege G900 that I used to use runs WM6.0, and it supports 800x480. In fact, IIRC, it has the same CPU as the Shift/WinMo.

Try this app (Danger: It can harm your device)
We use it for resolution switching in toshiba g900.
Just install SdkCerts and then main application. After that - launch WVGAFix.
Post result here if it is good or bad...
Remember - it can be dangerous, but it works great on my G900
I tried it, but only get an error saying "Sorry, WVGAFIX3 can't run on your system!"
I currently have an HTC Touch Pro (version 1) that displays in QVGA and VGA mode. I have numerous shareware apps that I have bought over the years that I greatly value; they all display in QVGA (240x320) mode. Those apps correspond to the era of Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.1. As such, all the apps display perfectly on the Touch Pro; that is, the programs occupy the entire screen properly.
I am considering to upgrade to an HTC HD (version 1) which has a 480x800 screen. I am curious how my legacy apps will display on this screen.
1) Will my old apps stretch to fully occupy the 480x800? or
2) Would the apps leave a blank strip above or below?
3) Are there any popular shareware apps that are known to not fit this screen properly?
Thanks in advance ...
I think this is what you're looking for.
Enjoy your HD, if you get one!
I presume from that link that Apps written for QVGA will NOT fully occupy a WVGA screen.
Oh pooh!
Thanks for the link to W_VGA_Fix.
I don't like the idea that I will have to run that utility each time I run my old Apps. And I presume that I have to later rerun that utility to revert to WVGA format else TouchFlo and the native Apps probably won't display properly.
sadly that's the only way to run non res aware apps made for qvga
What is displayed on the screen when an QVGA program is run on WVGA screen (without using WVGAFIX)?
- Does it run at all?
- Is the screen full of garble?
- Is a portion of the screen inaccessible?
- In other words, is the program somewhat useable albeit less attractive?

Hello,
I've managed to install Windows XP on the HTC Shift, but now that I installed everything, it is all working. Except the VGA driver, this gives me some problems. When the screen resolution is 800 x 480, nothings wrong. When I change it to 1024 x 768, I see a "part" of the screen and need to point the mouse to the bottom to move the whole screen. Is this normal? Cause I don't like this mode. I just want it as in Windows Vista/7. Anybody can help me out?
Thanks in advance,
