 Posted: Sun Jun 29, 2014 6:03 pm Post subject: Fullscreen uses only part of the screen |
 |

I have the problem that maximized windows use only what looks like the top-left 1024x768 pixels.
I think that's also the area used by the boot screen.
Actually it's a little more complicated: It depends on the original position and the size of the window whether it maximizes to the full screen or the smaller area you see in the screenshot. Even that is inconsistent: smplayer needs to be partially in the area and partially outside on the bottom-right, youtube videos in chrome need to be completely outside, ...
What's going on here? Where should I start looking? Kernel or Xorg config?
edit:

Sadly I have no idea how to read that.
edit2: | Code: | | xrandr --output LVDS1 --off |
seems to have fixed it, although I still have no idea what is going on. |

| You are probably using your notebook with the screen lid closed. The way that that works, is that the screens are displaying the same image, but your external monitor has a greater resolution. When you hit fullscreen, mplayer or whatever is using the lowest screen resolution as "fullscreen". So you have a fullscreen video on your notebook, and a borderless "window" on your external monitor. |

| I'm on a normal desktop PC. Do you know what LVDS1 is, how I can add a full resolution mode or whether I need it at all and what for? |

LVDS is the conector used on laptop screens, that's why I supposed you had a desktop. Just turn it off, it's your driver somehow misinterpreting it's presence:
xrandr --output LVDS1 off
or something, don't quote me on that. |

| Do you have an idea how I can turn off LVDS1 for good? Via xrandr I have to repeat the command every reboot. |
