Hey Mark, As you suggested, I switched to using the "vesa" driver rather than the "nv" driver (simply by changing the Device-->Driver entry).
The results: I no longer have that problem where the last line of my terminals runs off the end of the screen. The terminals look great. However, X won't start. I've attached the config and log files, in case you're willing to take a look. I didn't quite understand why I got the error I got: (II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1440x900" (no mode of this name) because in my config file I do seem to have a Monitor-->ModeLine defined with that name. Thanks for any ideas you have. I really appreciate it. - Christian > > Subject: Re: [XFree86] Odd problem with terminals > > Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 11:55:15 -0700 (PDT) > > From: Mark Vojkovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > On Sun, 13 Jul 2003, Christian Convey wrote: > > > > > Hi guys, > > > > > > I just installed Mandrake 9.1 on a new Toshiba P25 laptop (1440x900 > > > screen resolution). > > > > > > With some generous help, I got the regular X server behaving perfectly: > > > My real and virtual desktops are both 1440x900, and it looks great. > > > > > > However, when I hit ctrl+alt+F1, to go to the console (is that the right > > > word for it?), I have a little problem... > > > > > > The last half of the last line of text on the console runs off the > > > bottom of the display. > > > > > > Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding how to fix this? > > > Is this even an X-related issue? > > > > > > > It could be the "nv" driver not restoring the console correctly. > > I'm not aware of any such cases, but I haven't seen one of the > > GeForceFX laptops yet.
