I wanted to be able to put two 80 column text windows side by side and not have one covered by the other. I bought a Samsung 2343BWX. It is a 23" diagonal screen with a resolution of 2048x1152. According to the Display Resolution menu command in Fedora 10, that's exactly what it's doing, too. And I can have my side-by-side windows. (It's a really pretty display, to boot.) > > Now, two SXGA displays seamlessly side by side would be my idea of > widescreen. But you've got all that bezel and frame stuff between them! That's not seamless to my eyes! :-) :-) --Dale #relurk -- Never try to out-stubborn a cat. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
