Xserver problems
 
Hi,
I have a problem with my xserver, When I start my computer it loads KDE but the screen is much bigger than my monitor (doesn't fit).

Here is my XF86config-4 file

Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)
#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)
AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse doesn't work
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension

Can anyone tell how I can solve this problem?

Hi,
that's probably a "modeline" problem. I think you'll be able to solve it with xvidtune utility.

Tnx for the sugestion but I found out that it was a incorect Bios setting.

I'm Using a Dell Dimension and those are known to have problems with this.
