[newbie] virtual desktop and riva128 probs

2000-09-11 Thread Taamensu 

Hello,

I got a PIII-500, 96M RAM, and a RIVA128.  First off, how do I get rid of the 
virtual desktop option?  You know, when you can have windows that overlap the 
edge of your screen.  I remember an option when I installed it in the Xwin 
configuration part, but I can't find it in any of the configuration options 
now.  Will I have to reload just to get rid of it?.blarg...

Secondly, I am having problems with switching resolutions.  I'm set right now 
at 32 bit color, 640x480, with the monitor set to whatever the closest one 
is.  This setup works fine for now, but eats up desktop space.  I've tried 
switching the monitor settings but it doesn't matter, no dice.  Also, how 
'bout changing the refresh rate?I can tell mine needs to be bumped up, 
but can't figure out how

Thanks in advance,
Mario

What are you running, KDE?  Enlightenment?  Each one has different places to
disable the virtual desktop settings.  As far as the monitor goes, run
Xconfigurator from a terminal and you should be able to set things up there.
Make sure you manually pick your resolution and color settings though.  I
have it done it lately but I know it always defaulted to something that I
didn't want.  Hope this helps.

Patrick

In Gnome Control Centre, Sawfish Window Manager, Appearance.

You can set the "columns and rows" to 1 and 1, and set the workspace to 1.

on the Edge Flipping tab de-select the "Select next desktop when the pointer
hits screen edge."

Hope this helps!

 Draxconf - Change X Resolution.  The rest is self-explanatory.
