Hi there. I'm running Gentoo 1.4 on a Dell latitude c840 which can take resolutions up to 1600x1200. I quickly get tired if using that resolution in X and I wish to lower it since my screen is only 15". The problem is that if I choose any other resolution than 1600x1200 my picture gets smaller. Like when you reset the settings on your monitor. The width and height of the image doesn't use the entire area of the screen, and suddenly I have the 1600x1200-like problem again but with a lower resolution. I wish to use the entire screen. I have figured out that DisplaySize in /etc/X11/XF86Config is supposed to set the size of the "monitor" in millimeters, but xfree doesn't seem to use the value given on this line at all. So I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong or if I'm entering non-valid values. Everything else modified in this file is used by xfree and the logs tell me that this is the file that is loaded.
Google doesn't seem to be my friend anymore and I can't find much information about this on the xfree.org site or anywhere else. So I'm asking for your divine help. The driver I use is the latest "nv" for my 32MB Geforce4-Go emerged as nvidia-kernel The screen is a TFT 15" that can deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] at 16,8 million colours (UXGA). The width of the screen is 304,1 mm and the height 228,1 mm. My wm is the latest version of fluxbox emerged. I copied a part of the /etc/X11/XF86Config below.
