Screen doesn't fit the whole screen area [solved]

[Joni]

Hi,

 

I'm using Mandrake 10 and I have a problem with my screen. My screen doesn fit all the space available on the screen. How could I fit the screen to full screen so that it would use all the space on the screen and not just a part of it. I'm using Nvidia graphics card. My X86Config is this:

# Refer to the XF86Config man page for details about the format of

# **********************************************************************

 

Section "Files"

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)

# By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# the X server to render fonts.

FontPath "unix/:-1"

EndSection

 

Section "ServerFlags"

#DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)

AllowMouseOpenFail # allows the server to start up even if the mouse doesn't work

#DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching)

I have a feeling it's your monitor settings. What kind of monitor do you have?

What are the specs?

[Joni]

My monitor is Wings 17". There must be something wrog with the monitor because I can't acces to the control panel of the monitor. The button doesn't seem to work.

 

Guess have to buy a new monitor :(

Problem solved - got new monitor.
