Hi, Sinful,
If your desktop is bigger than your screen, you probably haven't set the
virtual screen size in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Here's a portion of my
/etc/X11/XF86Config:
# The Colour SVGA server
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "mystique"
Monitor "vivitron"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort0 0
# Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
ViewPort0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort0 0
Virtual 1024 768
EndSubsection
EndSection
I run X in 32 bpp at a screen resolution of 1024x768, so I have the
Virtual screen set to 1024 768. If there's extra black frame in your
display, you can probably fix this with the hardware controls on your
monitor. OK, good luck,
Hidong
