LinuxQuestions.org - yet another resolution problem

hello all,

i have an lcd monitor that can go up to 1680x1050. i try to set the default resolution to 1280x960 in xorg.conf by putting "1280x960" ahead of everything else in default depth's subsection. but when x starts, the actual kde desktop is larger than the screen, i.e. i have to move the mouse to the edge of the screen so that the screen scrolls and i can see the rest of the desktop.

here is my xorg.conf

Code:

 

--snip--

ection "Device"



    #VideoRam    4096

    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate

    Identifier    "VESA Framebuffer"

    Driver        "nvidia"

EndSection



Section "Screen"



# If your card can handle it, a higher default color depth (like 24 or 32)

# is highly recommended.

#  DefaultDepth 8

#  DefaultDepth 16

#  DefaultDepth 32

# "1024x768" is also a conservative usable default resolution.  If you

# have a better monitor, feel free to try resolutions such as

# "1152x864", "1280x1024", "1600x1200", and "1800x1400" (or whatever your

# card/monitor can produce)
