I'm trying to sneak a little Linux into my better-halfs life.
After the install [ as above ] I can't get the viewing area of the
screen to go to full width. It leaves about an inch of black all the way
around the viewing area. As near as I can tell from the Gateway spec
sheet it set the video driver right. The screen doesn't have much
information, other than its a 13.3 TFT, I have it set to 14 in the
config file. I've dug through every configuration setting I can find but
nothing in SuSE will change it.
Windows XP on the other half of the drive does just fine so I'm not so
sure its a bios or hardware thing.
Any ideas????????????
