screen size on laptop
My screen size on my laptop is not the whole screen. What would I need to configure to get it to be the whole screen?

You need to play around with your xorg.conf. What are the dimensions of your laptop screen? Like 1024x768? 1280x1024?
do this:
Look for
For me its at line 65 of 103, so its about two-thirds down.
In there you'll see something like
After "Modes," put in quotes the dimesion of your screen. So, for instance, if its 1280x1024, do
This will set you up so that your display has 16 bits per pixel by default (~64k colors), and you can hit Ctrl+Alt+(Keypad Plus) or the same with the minus key, and switch between that and 24bpp.
do this:
Code: Select all
nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code: Select all
Section "Screen"
In there you'll see something like
Code: Select all

Well, for one thing, I beleive that you need a "modes" line for each Display SubSection in your Screen section, but that shouldn't affect you much, since you're defaulting to 24. I'd chuck out all of the subsections you don't want/need, like for 1, 4, and 15 bpp. I'd keep 16 bpp, just because some programs don't like 24 bits. Some programs also don't like 16 bits. Oh well.
Anyway, I gather that your laptop does 1024x768 resolution?
What kind of laptop is it?
It seems to me that one of three things is happening:
1) Your xorg is setting the display setting or refresh higher than your lcd can handle, and, for some reason, you're lcd isn't complaining about it.
As a side note, I think you might have to specify somewhere that this is an lcd and not a crt. The control stuff is handled differently. I can't remember doing this for my laptop, so that could be incorrect, but my laptop doesn't have nvidia graphics. I know for sure that you have to tell it whether you're using a crt or lcd if you're dealing with twinview. All of that is to say that i'd at least look into it.
2) For some reason, the driver is trying to drive a monitor and not your lcd display. I don't know how to fix this. It also seems unlikely to me.
3) voodoo
You might try using the nv driver, just to see if that works. If it does, you can rule out the basic stuff in your xorg.conf, but it means that you've got some nvidia-specific issues to deal with.
If the nv driver doesn't work as well, you can be pretty sure that its just the basic stuff if your config.

JROCK2004, in your Xorg.0.log the last line is:
