I guess that you are trying to use the built in lcd. Since a lcd screen consists of a fixed array of pixels, fullscreen can only be achieved when all pixels are in use. This can either be achieved by using the full resolution of the lcd, which I guess is 1024x768 in your case, or using a smaller resolution, say 800x600, and letting the videocard "stretch" the image to 1024x768. If you get fullscreen at bootup in 800x600, it seems that "stretching" is enabled, but when X starts in 1024x768 the "stretching" is probably turned off.Hi Xperts, I'm trying to get XFree 4.2.1 working in a toshiba 3000 x4 laptop.
What happens if you start X in 800x600 ?
I boot in graphics mode from lilo (vga=788 -> 800x600, what suse
selected by default, this works until X changes the mode, it won't be
restored correctly later on).
Or if you use 1024x768 (vga=791) in console AND in X ? (Quake=slow) Best regards Hans Öfverbeck
After some twiddling XFree86 works fine in
1024x768, but i cannot get mode switching to work properly, any other
resolutions (including switching to the graphical VT) will result on the
image being "compressed" vertically (it doesn't fill all the vertical
dimension of the screen, and some lines are missing from the screen),
centered vertically and displaced horizontally to the right, so a good
chunk of the screen is not visible. I know the description ain't that
great, but I hope it's enough.
Since it looks (to me, admittedly a newbie configuring Xfree) like some
modeline problem i tried sticking some freq's i found in the web (semi
official toshiba support page) in my XFree86Config to no avail. I'm
including it in case it helps.
I also tried to run xvidtune, but it ends abruptly with a Floating Point
Exception before showing any gui, the offending code is in xvidtune.c,
line 403 where it divides by 0 (AppRes.field[HTotal].val).
I tried XFree86 CVS, the problem is still there. It's even worse, since
when you switch terminals nothing the screen goes completely black,
although it doesn't hang, i can still use the keyboard and write
'reboot' :-) The alpha blended cursors are cute, though ;-)
Well, I hope someone has some idea, the bug is not critical but it's
pretty annoying, since I cannot play Quake (too slow in 1024x768) :-). I
will be glad to follow advice and provide any more info needed.
Thanks in advance,
Iñaki
