Hi Fred.

The monitor is now running at 1280x1024. I am using the openbox window
manager. The display is way bigger that the LCD and when an
application
is minimized the icon goes way off the screen and I can't get it back.
...
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Sun-x7205a"

# Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768"
Virtual 1280 1024
#xdm won't run if depth is set to 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Just a guess: you're running at less than 1280x1024.
You should check the log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log). The actual
resoulution is
logged there.

Hello,
Screensaver or not is really ok with me but are there any more
suggestions that might solve my display problem? I am reasonably sure
the LCD is running at 1280x1024. Does anyone know specifically how
openbox is told the display size to use? I could then ask on the
sparc-debian mailing list how to find out if this is working
correctly. (Debian 6.0 on Sun Ultra5/10 with Sun x7205a LCD)
I have three other questions about openbox:
What is a "docking application" as discussed in the documentation?
What is the difference between using openbox or openbox-session to
start openbox? I don't think the documentation is very clear on this.
What is the difference between starting some applications through
.Xsession before openbox is started vs. having openbox start them?
Best regards,
Fred
Hello,
There has been some progress! I tried running openbox-session but had
some problems and restored .xsession to openbox. The windows now have
resistance at the monitor edges and when windows overlap. Both are
programmable in $HOME/.config/openbox/rc.xml so we can say openbox knows
the display size and the problem is the openbox routines that decide
where to park icons when they are minimized. Any ideas? I previously
asked for help on the openbox mailing list and was told it is an xorg
problem but I think it is a problem with openbox compiled for
Debian-sparc. However, I will ask again on the openbox mailing list.
Best regards,
Fred
