Screen Resolution 800x600 with black borders
Hi!
The topic title may suggest, that I'm having problems with my graphics card and that I can not set my resoltion to i.e. 1024x768 and that I'm stuck to 800x600 with a black border on my tft. Actually it's the other way round. I have an ASUS Laptop with integrated ATI graphics an everything is working fine. But if I change the resolution to something lower than my native 1024x768 the image is stretched across the entire screen. How do I change my configuration, that changing the resolution does not stretch the image but produces a black border around it, so that the image is still sharp? On windows there's a setting in the ati driver called "stretch image to panel size" on intel chips it's called "panel fitting". This can be activated and deactivated in windows. How do I do it in linux? I don't find an entry in xorg.conf. Thanks for your help! JoSch |
Well, try to use xvidtune to make a proper modeline. Maybe it will do the job.
|
Okay, I tried xvidtune but for some reason there's no effect if I change anything and then click apply or test. Do you know why?
|
Give me details about your distro, xserver, and give the config file for xserver.
|
Okay, I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 with latest xserver I think. Here is my config. Everything has to be default.
Code:
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) |
On Ubuntu try to put xvidtune to /etc/sudoers and run it with root privileges.
|
I now got the solution!
I had to use the fglrx driver and add the Option Code:
Option "Centermode" "On" |
