Hi guys!

I've downloaded grafpup2 dillo and the screen size doesn't cover the whole monitor size. In other words the desktop seems to be wrapped with black borders.

I've changed the xorg.conf with the puppy one that works but still the same problem. Didn't happened with a previous alpha version.

This is not the first time I have this problem, the same happens to me with arch linux.Maybe the video card driver I have an ati rage pro fury

thanks, ruth

Have you tried adjusting your monitor controls for x and y axis geometry? most modern CRT monitors have a row of buttons you can do that with.

Well, I thought it wouldn't be necessary.

But I think that in arch linux forum, someone commented having problem with xorg and ati video card

cf13 I often compare different operating systems on the same computer and monitor by using plug-in hard drives.

Frequently the automated XOrg setup decides to do its own customisation of horizontal and vertical scanning rates as well as the number of pixels in each direction. Each seems to be slightly different and needs a tweak with horizonal and vertical centering and width/height.

The fact there is a black border around the image suggests to me that the scanning of the monitor CRT isn't there.

Try it and see

Hi!

Definitely is a xorg problem, cause even xrandr show the right refresh rate, I notice the screen flickers too much.

It might be good to try some other resolution. I usually go for 1280x1024x16-bit for starters.

You could also see if the XVesa driver does anything for you.

I've noticed problems with some SiS and some Intel video chips on some OS's with some monitors. Even commercial OS's can do this, as I discovered with Sun Java Desktop for Linux v2 - the drivers in the live CD worked properly whereas those in the installed version identified one chipset incorrectly.

Short of trying and recording here what the results were so someone can look at them and offer suggestions, I'm fresh out of ideas, sorry.
