Re: XFree86 screen area problem
Thanks for the response. Sadly, this does not seem to have solved the problem. I did set the modes to run at 1024x768, but I'm still looking at an unusable interface filled with giant text and windows. I've pasted the "screen" portion of the config file below, is there anything else that might be causing this?

On Sun, Jun 22, 2003 at 12:15:44AM -0700 I heard the voice of Alex, and lo! it spake thus: > It looks like the screen area was set to 640 x 480 when it should be > 1024 x 768, but I'm having trouble figuring out why this is happening. Find the "Modes" line in the "Screen" section. It'll look something like: Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" It tries the modes in order, so just swap 'em around so the 1024x768 one is first. (Yup, bloody stupid system, that it puts the LOWEST first in the configurator) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
XFree86 screen area problem
I just set up FreeBSD 5.0 on my PC and am configuring XFree86. Thus far everything is peachy except for one thing - all of the visual elements when I start X (the windows, the fonts, etc) appear huge on screen to the point where they're not really unusable. It looks like the screen area was set to 640 x 480 when it should be 1024 x 768, but I'm having trouble figuring out why this is happening. The only error message I've found shows up when I shut down X, it reads: xauth: (argv):1: bad display name ":0" in "remove" command I've also been pouring through the Config file, but I haven't seen anything that looks like a culprit. My monitor settings are as follows: Identifier "NEC Monitor" HorizSync 31.5 - 60 VertRefresh 56.2 - 75.1 DisplaySize 304 228 Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks, Alex __ Do you Yahoo!?
