Hi,
I just installed a dual boot on my windows laptop, so I could install Centos 7.
I successfully completed the minimal install of Centos 7.
However my prompt is tiny. I have a 4K screen on my laptop (assus with nvidia 950M card).
I tried xranr but it says "display cannot open".
I dont have xorg.conf file.
I tried to look up online a lot of options, that dont work for me.
I didnt install GUI, just the minimal install of Centos 7. I want to install everything I need later on my own.
The weird thing is that on another partition I install the gnome version of Centos 7, and everything seems to at the correct size by default. I didn't do anything.
So I am thinking, maybe with the minimal install there is some packages I need to install to be able to have a correct size of prompt.
I really run out of ideas.
Could anyone help me please?
Thanks

Re: 4K display laptop Centos 7 minimal install
If you installed the minimal version then you don't have a GUI to change using xrandr. Most likely you just need to tell it to use a bigger font. Perhaps this might help? viewtopic.php?t=55267
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

You cannot run `startx` via an ssh session.

Unfortunately, the changes were not effective
Can anyone log in to my server and correct it?

Re: 4K display laptop Centos 7 minimal install
Finally installed
But it's not recommended on centos and it's better to install Ubuntu
thanks
