Howdy,
New monitor came in. Found it on my porch. Unboxed it and hooked it
up. Started with no xorg.conf file. It's high res, plasma comes up so
all that is fine. Now comes the problem. Everything is HUGE. Even on
SDDM screen, it's like it is zoomed in or something. Icons are huge,
fonts are huge. I think what it is doing is this, and it may be the
video card. I think it is thinking I have four monitors set up as one
large screen. With this one monitor, I'm seeing the top left monitor
but not seeing the rest since I only have one monitor connected. I
might add, when I click to logout, that screen is huge too.
I generated a xorg.conf with the nvidia tool. No change. I tried
removing options that I thought might cause this largeness problem. I
even rebooted. No change. I open the Nvidia GUI software and tried
adjusting things there. No change. I compared the setting to my main
rig, other than the difference in the cards, all settings appear to be
the same including what should be displayed where. The resolution is
correct too.
Is it possible this card functions differently than my usual cards?
Someone mentioned these tend to be used in a business system which could
mean they use four monitors for one large display, for presentations or
something. Is there something I need to disable or enable so the card
knows I want independent monitors maybe?
I'm attaching the xorg.conf file, including options I commented out. I
also checked the logs, no errors or anything. It's just the usual
things like mouse and keyboard loading and it finding the monitor
connected, unlike the old LG. Maybe someone here as ran into this at
work or for a client and has a idea on how to fix or that this card is
not designed for my use.
While I'm waiting on a reply, I'm going to try one of my older spare
video cards. If it works fine, it could be the new video card is set up
to work this way. May not can even change it.
Thanks.
Dale
