Emulator Screen Size

[Anand]

I am trying to build the emulator to support a larger screen.

The best I have been able to do so far is 1024x600. What I am looking
for is 1366x768

There is a previous post on this topic [http://groups.google.com/group/
android-porting/browse_thread/thread/18ae836676b0282b/894c9f36922f7331?
hl=en&q=#894c9f36922f7331]

In that post I do not follow how to modify the dalvik startup option
and would that even effect the screen size?

Here is the repo diff that I have currently. Would appreciate any help
on this context. Thanks!

Here is a blog post on supporting large screen sizes in the emulator:

http://foldedtoadfroth.blogspot.com/2009/10/android-emulator-goldfish-big-screen.html

I'd include a kernel I made for this (using the blog post above), but
I'm guessing it will get stripped from the email.

Yes, this is exactly the same changes that I have made following the
directions in the Google Group post.

However with these changes also I am not able to get a screen size
greater than 1280x720.

Any clues on how to get to 1366x768 ?

Thanks!

I was able to configure 1024 X 768 resolution using latest gold fish
kernel. But when i also tried to
configure with 1366 X 768, emulator is stops at initializing surface
flinger. After initial analysis, i found framebuffer is not able to
allocate memory in the probe function.

If any body has any idea on how to proceed further will be of great
help

Changing the MAX_ORDER to 12 in the file ./include/linux/mmzone.h
fixes the issue

#ifndef CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
#define MAX_ORDER 11

#else
#define MAX_ORDER CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
#endif

#define MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES (1 << (MAX_ORDER - 1))

Change it to

#ifndef CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER

#define MAX_ORDER 12
#else
#define MAX_ORDER CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER
#endif

#define MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES (1 << (MAX_ORDER - 1))
