Subject: RE: [Win4Lin-users] win4lin
window is too small
Bill,
This is pretty if'fy, and I know I had a better way to
do this, but I can't figure it out right now. So here we go with plan 2...
(or maybe Plan 9, if you catch my drift...)
If you right click on the Windows desktop, you get the
Display Properties dialog box, and as I understand your description, you can
see settings, so choose that.
On my machine, you come up highlighting Colors. Hit your
tab key 1 time, and you should be on Screen area. You're at 640, so hit the
right arrow on your keyboard a couple of times. Now you're at 1024, or
whatever your card supports.
From here, you can hit the tab key 4 more times to get
to apply, and then hit enter to do it.
If my number of keystrokes don't exactly match what you
see, because your graphics adapter can change this dialog box (and I'm
testing from Windows, not Win4Lin Windows right now) you can usually test
this by counting how many tab key hits take you all the way around the loop.
The apply key is one before colors, so count it out and you'll get
it.
Good luck,
Mark
(And there actually is a key combination for moving windows if your
mouse dies, but I can't find it.....sorry)
Let me rephrase my last question:
The
X-window that contains my
Win98 desktop is too small
relative to the
size of my Gnome desktop.
If I look at the display settings inside
Win98,
the slider is positioned all the way to the left
of the scale
where it says 640X480.
If that is the thing I have to
change
then I am in a Catch22 because to change
that setting I have
to move the slider and then
click on the OK "button".
Unfortunately,
the window is so small now that I can't
see the OK
"button".
HELP|OnWindow says
"Win4Lin prevents you from
resizing windows
larger than the default size".
So how can I
make the default size bigger?
Thank
you.
