Re: [XFree86] Large Ugly Black Border Surrounding X
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.

Re: [XFree86] Large Ugly Black Border Surrounding X
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.

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.
