I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 laptop, running RedHat 9. The video card is NVidia-based, with 32MB RAM, and can handle a resolution of up to 1600x1200. When I choose this resolution, the entire screen is filled, and I have a beautiful, large desktop under GNOME. However, this is too big, and the text is all too tiny to read, so I wanted to make the resolution smaller. However, if I load up redhat-config-xfree86, and set the resolution lower, to say 1024x768, and then restart X, then my chosen resolution appears, but in a smaller box on the screen. It does not occupy the full screen, and so the text remains as small as ever, not taking advantage of a large physical screen. I have never seen this funny behaviour before on any system. On all my other computers, X just works fine, stretching the display to fit the physical screen size. Any ideas what might be wrong, and how I can correct this?
