Hi all.

2 or 3 days ago my monitor lost its set resolution resulting in full screen displays being cropped top/bottom.

The monitor is an AOC model 193FW 19 inch wide screen with max resolution of 1440 x 900 (16x10). I first thought the monitor was faulty but the monitor's hardware adjustments would not fix the problem which has turned out to be software related.

With icewm 'startx starticewm', starts the X display with the default resolution above although in xorg.conf the preferred resolution and all alternatives are all 1280 x 800. This is also the resolution set in the Mageia Control Centre. I can change the resolution using 'kcmshell4 monitor' from a terminal but this does not stick between restarts. At 1280x800 the monitor displays correctly.

Also tried 1280X720 (16x9) with no joy.

I have looked through xorg log but this is new territory for me

Any/all ideas most welcome

TIA

Barry
