[XFree86] Large Ugly Black Border Surrounding X
Hello, I am running FreeBSD 4.7 and I have just upgraded my ports. I am now running XFree86 4.3 and I am having a slight problem. I am using my old XF86Config file but for some reason the screen only takes up a small portion of the display. There is about 4 inches of black on each side of the screen surrounding the Desktop. I haven't a clue what could be the problem and it just started after I upgraded. Relevant system info can be seen below. Thanks a lot.

That it's a laptop and you asked it for a resolution lower than the maximum the LCD screen can provide and the designers chose to let it show borders instead of trying to resample the screen image badly (stretch it)? See if you can find out what the max resolution for your laptop is and edit the configuration file accordingly. -Peter Some day American bombs will be smart enough to have second thoughts about using wars to solve humanity's problems. -A.

Peter, yes, thanks I found a way to stretch the viewable area to the sides of the screen (and toggle back and forth between the views), yet as you can imagine, this looks very awkward :-\ The problem is that (and forgive me as I forgot to mention it in my original message) it was working perfectly at 1024 x 768 prior to me upgrading XF86. Anymore suggestions? Thanks. --- Peter \Firefly\ Lund [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, 18 Jun 2003, Kai Duncan wrote: about 4 inches of black on each side of the screen surrounding the Desktop.

You're not running at the panel's native resolution. When you use a mode smaller than it, the nv driver just centers it. In the XF86Config, specify a modeline that matches your panel's native resolution. Mark. On Wed, 18 Jun 2003, Kai Duncan wrote: Hello, I am running FreeBSD 4.7 and I have just upgraded my ports.
