Phil, thanks for the clarification. So, in your hardware - your Gateway netbook - F13 is giving you 1366x768, or only 1024x768 'stretched' across the screen? I guess one of the display setup menus should list 1366x768 as a selectable option. regards, Ron _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce
