|
I have installed the latest versions of xfree and kde. When I use startx or kdm, the desktops come up and are larger than the monitor. When I get to the edge of the screen, the desktop scrolls. How can I fix this? Thanks,
Andrew
PS: I am using an NVIDIA GeForce 2 with the nvidia drivers installed. |

Do any of the threads that come up in a search for "virtual and resolution" help? _________________ For every higher wall, there is a taller ladder |

under /etc/X11/rc.conf (i think):
At your display settings it will say something about color depth default. Mine is set for 24 bit.
Under the 24-bit section, you need to adjust the line that problably looks like this:
"640 x 480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1600x1200"
I wanted to run at 800x600, so I deleted the other resolutions. After starting X back up, I didn't have an oversized desktop anymore, it fit the monitor fine. |
