desktop area larger than screen resolution (something wrong with X config?)
When i installed linux i selected the largest resolution my screen can handle (for gaiming) which is 1600x1200.
This is obviously useless for general work stuff so i tried cutting this down to 1024x768 by altering the order in the XF86Config file. The config file now looks like this: Code:
Section "Screen" When GDM and Gnome load the desktop area is larger than the screen resolution. It is liek I am zoomed in and when i drag the mouse to (and beyound) the edge of the screen it scroles acros the screen. When i get into Gnome i can use the tool in there to change the resolution and it is then fine to work with, but as you can imagin this is annoying. Any ideas? |
You need to add:
Code:
Virtual 1024 768 |
Works a charm but...
That works a charm however. is there an easy way to alter things for if i want to play a game at 1600x1200 as i have a card for it?

try pressing Ctrl Alt and + or - this should scroll you through all your available screen resolutions ;-)

ah
Thanks. OK you learn something new each day
