First the basics: I'm running XFree86 4.1.0 installed over an out-of-the-box RedHat7.0 Linux system (kernel 2.2.16).
I'm trying to get a virtual screen larger than my physical screen resolution, and have the viewport start at a location other than (0,0). The first part works easily enough but so far no joy on the second... The machine is running at 1280x1024, and for test purposes I've added: Virtual 2000 2000 ViewPort 100 100 to the Display subsection of the XF86Config file (I do not have an XF86Config-4 file). Running X (either with startx, xinit, or by switching to runlevel 5 and using the Gnome graphical log in) gives the correct virtual display size, but the viewport always starts in the top-left of the virtual display. If I leave the ViewPort line out entirely then there is still no change (despite the claims in the entry for ViewPort in the XF86Config man page). I've been hunting around and I haven't found any examples of people using anything other than ViewPort 0 0 so any help would be greatly appreciated. Further details (e.g., full XF86Config file) available on request. Thanks, Nick. -- Mr Nick McGrogan T: +44 (0) 1865 336175 Senior Engineer F: +44 (0) 1865 336180 Oxford BioSignals Ltd W: www.oxford-biosignals.com _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
