Cool, now we are talking about some real diagnostic investigation.
Try to replace th following line in $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState
(maybe also in the systemwide /etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState) in the
third line at the top of the file:
Applications1200 = (
(or whatever value is shown there) with
Applications1920 = (
before starting up wmaker. Does this make a difference?
I have set this resolution width values by default to 1200 pixels, which
obviuously is not enough for your screen resolution. It usually
automatically scales down to the correct value of the actual display
size, but the other way round it doesn't up if the display is actually
larger than the preset. As this is hardcoded within the ISO, the adapted
value will not be saved between sessions, unless wmlive is running from
an installation to disk.
I will set this value higher in future wmlive releases, e.g. the value
1920 your display is using. This should resolve the issue for a while,
unless someone comes along with an even superior resolution. ;)
Does this resolve the issue for you, at least to some degree?
Thanks for your patience,
Paul
