This could be a Xinerama-related issue, in that the combined big pseudo-screen Xinerama makes is rectangular, which means your TV screen is actually more like 1024x1200, you just can't see the bottom 36% of it. It may be deeper than that, since you might be winding up with something like xrandr rather than plain xinerama, or nvidia [google...] TwinView I believe it is, which acts in its own way. I'm not sure offhand who's doing the resizing in this case; you're not asking ctwm to resize, you're telling the browser to do it. But that may happen by the browser in turn then making a request to the WM? I've not tried tracing what goes on when you tell the browser to full-screen itself. ctwm has at least some knowledge of xinerama, but it doesn't know anything about randr. So, the best answer _I_ know would be to set it up as two separate [X] Screen's, in which case each would know its native resolution and be happy-ish. But that does mean you couldn't move windows between them, you'd have to start them up on the proper side. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
