Re: [Plug] rookie mistakes


Ok, I just solved this on my laptop, at least the oversized screen thing. I'm
notexactly sure what the root cause was, but changing the driver using
Xconfigurator worked.  I was using the SVGA driver, and it kept setting the
resolution to 640X480, and the desktop was HUGE, easily 4 times the size of the
actual screenn.  This is not including the other three virtual desktops, just
the primary.  I loaded the S3 driver, manually set the RAM size (4 meg), and let
it autoprobe everything else. It wanted to set the default resolution to
1024X768X32 bits, but that didn't work.  I manually set it to 1024X768X24bits,
and it worked fine, beautifully in fact.
If you like, I can email you my XF86Config.
Peace,
Vale
