Hi Sailxperts,
I've bought an Xperia Xa2 ultra, just to reuse SailfishOs. Now my biggest concern is how to find out the screen resolution, so I can configure my remote VNC machines.
Is there a cli command, or ay other way so I can discover what is the display resolution that my Xa2 Ultra is using?
Best Regards, Nepsis.localhost

Xperia XA2 Ultra resolution = 1080 x 1920 pixels, 16:9 ratio (~424 ppi density)
You could have googled this information, actually, you could have also googled for the command line and with a bit of investigation into the OS, we find;
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
/sys/class/graphics/fb1/modes
I use a J1 device, I also use nano as my preferred editor, so I did the following in terminal;
nano /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
this yields the following response from my J1;
U:540x960p-0
and this yields the following from my J1;
U:1280x720p-0
540 x 960 is the correct resolution for the Jolla1, but I'm not sure about the second output from 'frame buffer 1' (fb1).
Thank you very much Edz,
indeed I was looking for something like that:
nemo@Sailfish ~]$ cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modesU:1080x1920p-60
By the screen resolution of the phone I've managed to solve my problem, and yet that's not the best way to approach the screen resolution that's using, for example when using the gemini pda connected to an external screen I must change screen res via term, in order to have everything in place.
BTW, where did you find this info?
Both your questions were largely answered by simply googling your question.
Screen res of Xperia = can't recall which site
Find screen res with command line = https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46578951/list-screen-resolutions-using-wayland-weston - and then investigated my device to make corrections of URL path required.

i find this question actually interesting. sfos doesnt use x-server, but wayland. so, all the x-tools dont exist and the standard wayland stuff i found online also doesnt work. whats the name of the wayland compositor sfos uses? and how to get the screen resolution?
