I've installed Raspian Jessie Lite and added on the minimum I can to get a browser running fullscreen. I started off with IceWeasel:sudo apt-get install -y x-window-system iceweaselAnd put this into my .xinitrc:iceweasel http://localhost/Now, when I run startx it loads IceWeasel. However, it only took up a small; portion of the screen. I was able to fix that by loading IceWeasel, closing it, then modifying the file that stored the window size and make it 1920x1080.That was all fine, until I discovered IceWeasel didn't support all th nice new ECAMScript goodness Chrome did. So, I'm trying to swap for Chromium. I've managed to get it all installed, and I've changed my .xinitrc to this:chromium-browser --start-maximized --kiosk http://localhost/However, when this launches it only uses about (possibly exactly) half of the screen! I've tried various options but can't get it working. --start-fullscreen is even weirder and renders correctly but gets chopped in half! :(Note: I'm trying to avoid installing any window manager/etc, as it seems like it shouldn't be required when IceWeasel is already all working correctly!?IceWeasel:Chromium (--start-maximized and --kiosk):Chromium (--start-fullscreen):
How can I make Chromium start full-screen under X?
xorg;raspbian;chrome
Ok, with help from this thread I got it working. Although that poster said it didn't work, I edited .config/chromium/Default/Preferences and explicitly set the window size:Beforewindow_placement:{    bottom:1060,    docked:false,    left:10,    maximized:true,    right:950,    top:10    // ...Afterwindow_placement:{    bottom:1080,    docked:false,    left:0,    maximized:true,    right:1920,    top:0    // ...I wondered if maybe this had been set badly by the first load of the app not being fullscreen, but I tried deleting ~/.config and then loading it again, but it just recreated it with the left half of the screen. I guess I'll have to script loading Chromium, killing it, then rewriting that part of the file in my setup script! ;(
