AlxMAX Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) Hi, I am currently experiencing an annoying problem with Mandriva 2005 LE on my laptop. As you may know, each laptop is able to display smaller resolutions than the native one in two ways: either the image is displayed in the centre of the panel or it is stretched to fit the panel area. Each laptop has a key combination to switch between these styles. My problem consists in a independent switch of displaying style upon reboot. I mean each time I reboot the computer, something in the OS switches the displaying style to the opposite of the current style. For instance, if a resolution of 800x600 is displayed in the centre of the screen, at the next reboot it will be displayed stretched and vice-versa, without touching anything or using the specific key combination. Does anyone have an idea what it may be? I suspect the things are changed at boot sequence (something like udev or harddrake), but I am not sure. Thank you.

ianw1974 Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I used to know of an option on Toshiba laptops that allowed the screen to be stretched, that was in the BIOS. Turning this off, helped solve a few problems I experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlxMAX Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 My laptop hasn't such an option in its BIOS. The only setiing concerning the monitors tells the computer wich is the primary and which is the secondary in the case two monitors are connected.
