Hi Thanks for taking the time to read this posting, this newbie needs your
help !
machine details: seimens nixdorf 5hpci (pentium 75 - old i know but hey
...)
48mb ram
FreeBSD 4.3 stable ( downloaded via FTP from uk mirror )
Monitor Details: seimens nixdorf: mcm1702
serial: BZ542212
fcc-id: ARFKDM1788
manufactured 1995.
having run a check on the fcc-id number and contacting the relevant company
it turns out this monitor is actually a 'sampo technologies model
'kdm1788be'' which has been re-badged for siemens, please see link below
for technical spec sheet.

video card details: tsenglabs et4000/w32 pci (info reported from windows)
video card details as reported by XF86 startup: pci et4000 w32p
ramdac stg1703
chipset et4000 w32p_rev_d
ram 4096k
ramdac speed 135
here's the problem:
when i configure x - i can't get the desktop to full screen mode - i can
only get an image about 8 x 8 inches in the centre of the screen - the
surrounding border remains black. i have tried both svga & w32 servers &
different colour depths and with all combinations of et?000 cards - most
combinations won't start the x server - those that do run fine - no errors
but image is not full screen.
i know that x will run as i've had red hat 6.2 running in the past.
any help very much appreciated - please feel free to flame ( but i have
read all the docs from the xf86 project )
regards
nick
