I tried every Fn-F* combination. I even forced the screen to full size mode with lilo and booted full screen.

thinkpad 770 X full screen
I am running Debian 3.1r0a I have been trying to get X to run full screen on an IBM thinkpad 770z. X runs, however it leaves a large matte area of "dead screen". The monitor is fine, since that other OS uses it all. I've tried to change various options in x86Config however I have yet to hit upon the right combination. Any suggestions? -- Disclaimer: This communication represents the official view of the voices in my head and should not be confused with whatever voices you are hearing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
