Setting Gnome resolution from the command line
by Charles Steinkuehler 19 Jul '13

Speaking of Gnome, does anyone know how to change the Gnome resolution from the command line? I don't mean using xrandr or fbset (I've tried and those don't work...this is a BeagleBone with Angstrom). When the HDMI interface is working, I can run the display settings GUI and pick from a few resolutions auto-detected via EDID. What I need is a way to ask Gnome from the command line what display options are available and select one when the system pics a resolution the HDMI monitor doesn't like (so there's no visible GUI). I can't pull up anything on setting Gnome desktop settings via the command line on Google, but maybe I'm not asking the right way. Anyone know Gnome well enough to point me towards where to start looking? -- Charles Steinkuehler charles(a)steinkuehler.net

Cool new software installer from Gnome

Modeled after various aspects of browser, phone, and tablet "app stores". Uses existing commandline package mangers as backend. I thought the mock-ups were too cool to not share! https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Software
