Thanks for your suggestions. I am running version 4.0.3 of XFree86, I have tried your first suggestion in terms of 8/16/24 on 800x600, with no apparent success. I have not been able to find out what the horizontal sync. range is for the laptop, Compaq will not give it to me. I must admit to being concerned about playing with this number, I have read warnings that, making it too high can damage the monitor. I did notice that when I made it 60-100, the screen changed to a full screen, but then X-windows did not show up at all. Further, when I cntl-alt-backspace, it went back to the < 1/4 visible sliver on the right hand side. >From: Mystikarc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [RE][Newbie]compaq presario 12XL300, only 1/3 of screen shows >X-windows >Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 16:22:08 -0500 > >First, Which version of XFree86 are you running? >Also, try to run xf86config, set monitor do a low svga, and card to your >chip >type, putting in the ram you need , and server to svga. >Then change defautl to 8bit 16 24 to all 800x600 if you support it, screen >NOT >bigger then monitor.
