Although everything looks sharp, I have to scroll to see the whole screen. After I log in, Gnome starts and uses the correct size. Does anyone have an idea where I have to look to modify it? Maybe you have a wrong resolution in a Modes line of the file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. For example, with the Mode line below, I think I would get the effect you describe. Leaving out the resolution "1280x960", which is wrong for my monitor, would fix it. SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x960" "1280x1024" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection I think I use /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. the Modes line shows: "1024x768" "1600x1200" "800x600" "640x480" Correct if you ask me... On the other hand, could it be that GDM still uses the XF86Config-4 file and gnome the xorg.conf file? Probably a silly thaught. But the XF86Config-4 file is still resident. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
