I'm having some trouble getting screen resolutions working right, and would appreciate *any* pointers.
I just bought a new Toshiba P25, with a gorgeous 17" screen that's native at 1400 x 1050. It comes with at GeForce 5200 FX chip and 32 MB of video memory.
When I installed Mandrake 9.1, I chose a screen resolution of 1400 x 1050, and to use the "vesa" driver.
When I actually got the laptop into X however, I get a funky problem: The virtual size of the screen appears to be a little taller than what's actually displayed. That is, in KDE, the taskbar that's on the bottom doesn't appear, but I can move the cursor a little south of the bottom of the screen and interact with that tasklbar.
I see some lines in /var/log/XFree86.0.log that are worrying, but I don't know what to do with them:
... (II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1400x1050" (no mode of this name) (II) VESA(0): Not using mode "1024x768" (no mode of this name) (II) VESA(0): Not using mode "800x600" (no mode of this name) (--) VESA(0): Virtual size is 1280x1024 (pitch 1280) ...
Thanks tons, Christian
