Hello everyone, I've been trying to find a solution to my problem for quite some time but am unable to find anything that works.
My situation is I have a DLP projector that has a max resolution of 1024x768. However, the screen is 16x9, so I need a resolution of 1024x576. I created a modline for this and it works for my NVidia fx 5200, but the projector interprets it as 1024x600. Plus, my computer monitor doesn't support this res. so I can't get the same image to come up on both at once. My next thought was to try to create a virtual screen of 1024x576, and a physical resolution of 1024x768. (Hoping that I would get black bars on top, bottom, or both). What happens in this situation is XFree uses 640x480 in a 1024x576 virtual. This occurs even with only a 1024 mode defined. My largest issue with doing this, is mythtv, mplayer, xine, etc, all call to X directly to get the display size when doing a fullscreen on these aplications (I believe this is so, but could be wrong). If I can't get things to be seen as 1024x576, then I have little/no chance of getting the other apps to work correctly. I havn't been able to find out if any window managers or desktops support specifying a resolution to occupy, and what would happen to video apps when they go fullscreen. My last option would be to use xinearama or twinview, but I don't think these would be a good route for me, since I want the same image on both displays at once. I would appreciate any ideas on what I may be able to do, to get things to work correctly. My main concern is getting a 1024x576 virtual running in a 1024x768 physical mode. Thank you, --Brandon _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
