daniewicz Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 85 sounds good for a CRT monitor Try adding a DisplaySize line in the "Monitor" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Here is what mine looks like: Section "Monitor" Identifier "monitor1" VendorName "Plug'n Play" ModelName "NEC FE2111SB" HorizSync 30-115 VertRefresh 50-160 DisplaySize 401 302 EndSection Where 401 and 302 are the physical dimensions of my screen in mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caesar Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 did that...but didtn' do much the only thing that seems to work is making my font really really lart ..something like changing the resolution to 800x600 did the trick, but made desktop unusable because everything expanded will beyond the monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) I am assuming you are running Mandriva 2006? If so, have you updated your installation with urpmi? I do not know what else to suggest. I am hoping that someone else here will have an idea. Edited July 23, 2006 by daniewicz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
