John ... getting modern graphics working reliably is one of the bane's of my live these days. Running the screens in the office on the end of KVM and links, the computers outside do not see the real hardware and while in the past it was easy to manually set the screen resolutions to get a working setup, these days it's almost essential that there is nothing other than the actual monitor plugged in. Even so far as XP will not now allow a 'virtual' screen ... so we have to have dongles plugged in to trick the pigging software to thinking there is a real monitor :( On the RaspberryPi there are settings to change the boarder around the work area and I've got a cribsheet somewhere on that one :( But in general the problem is with linux defaulting to 1024 by 768 when it can't find a monitor setup. For some reason I can't see your screen grab when I simply click on the link, but then a lot of web stuff simply does not work now! So it's not just monitors. My motherboard machine has booted up as 1024x768 and the monitor is scaling to display it on the 1920 by 1200 while some other monitors crop to the smaller size so as to keep the aspect ratio right. Having downloaded your picture so I can see it, there does seem to be a higher resolution image in the background? So the graphics card is creating the boarder rather than the monitor ... 'xrandr' is a useful tool for checking and that is working on my LCNC desktop install ... just not got time to play with it as yet. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
