No full-screen, permissions in .sheepshaver_prefs ok.

Now that I managed to boot flawlessly the whole thing (read thisvia crucis :wink: ) I find some hassle at the time to turn Sheepshaver full screen in my Linux laptop.

I had a read to the setup guide for linux,

Code: Select all

How do I enable full screen supported in SUSE Linux?

      Full screen mode can hang your SUSE Linux installation. You can try to change the .sheepshaver_prefs file like this:

screen fbdev/horizontal resolution/vertical resolution

screen fbdev/1280/1024

Take care to also disable the gui as it will overwrite your settings with the “normal” ones. So set the next line in your config file:

nogui true

....to no avail. Here is the code from my .sheepshaver_prefs in my user folder...

Code: Select all

disk /home/juanja/sheepshaver/usr/bin/Macvolume.HFV
extfs /home/juanja
screen fbdev/1280/800
windowmodes 0
screenmodes 0
seriala /dev/ttyS0
serialb /dev/ttyS1
rom /home/juanja/sheepshaver/usr/bin/Mac OS ROM
bootdrive 0
bootdriver 0
ramsize 33554432
frameskip 6
gfxaccel true
nocdrom true
nonet false
nosound true
nogui true
noclipconversion false
ignoresegv false
jit true
jit68k false
keyboardtype 5
keycodes false
mousewheelmode 1
mousewheellines 3
dsp /dev/dsp
mixer /dev/mixer
ignoresegv false
idlewait true
Note that the screen fbdev/1280/800 parameter must be this way instead of fbdev/1280/1024 because of the 15,4" laptop monitor aspect ratio. This is the actual resolution of my x-server, which works perfectly fine.

As for the permissions stuff...

Code: Select all

:~/sheepshaver/usr/bin$ ls -la /home/juanja/.sheepshaver_prefs
-rw-rw-rw- 1 juanja juanja 512 2008-12-07 17:09 /home/juanja/.sheepshaver_prefs
juanja@martinezdoncel:~/sheepshaver/usr/bin$
As it can not be other way....setting the GUI in window$ to raise a full-screen high definition 1440x900 BasiliskII was something straight.

I suppose in Linux *must* be a way....anyone could help?
