DeGrijze Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Just wanted to point out this SWscanner (wardrive)program Its a nice tool for wardriving under Linux this SWscanner program, i even think that Windows users can and wil find there way in it, its just as simple to use as netstumbler under Windows. The only problem that i have with it is that the SWscanner program is bigger than the screen of my Eeepc 4G, bud maybe some here in this forum knows of a way to change the this SWscanner program so it will fit in the screen of a Eeepc 4G. (if so than please let me know howto) Gerard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if so than please let me know howto) I can't tell you how to change the size of the app because it's likely that you just can't. What you can do, however, is use a modified graphics driver for the eee (I believe there are Windows and Linux methods) that allows the use of higher resolutions and scales the high resolution down to fit on the screen. It won't look spectacular, it'll appear slightly distorted or stretched because it's not the native resolution of the LCD but it'll do the job. The other option is to use a driver that supports desktop scrolling so you can use a higher resolution but just pan around the screen as necessary. http://forum.eeeuser.com/ has more information.
