I don't know your model specifically, so I'm speaking generally here. Some LCDs can expand a low-resolution display (say, 640x480) to fill a larger resolution screen (say, 1024x768). Some can't. Further, it appears that even if the screen can do it, some drivers can't. So in your shoes, here's what I'd do: poke around in BIOS for a screen-expansion option, and select it if there is one. Then check to see that you've configured X to use _only_ the resolution for which your screen is designed, so it doesn't have to expand. If your LCD screen can't do expansion, and you configure X to use a lower resolution than that of which the screen is capable, you'll get a boxed display like the one you're describing. The easiest solution is to just use the proper resolution, and only that one. There may be other, more sophisticated, ways to address this problem, but the above should take care of it. Hope it helps. - -d - -- David Talkington http://www.spotnet.org PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPAVLdb9BpdPKTBGtEQKT+wCgrS6HYANEzjE9+2V50T5A5V9AUEQAnjka u30a35bIT3M04qnQYgkto8tq =/tcW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
