Very Computer

Hi -

I'm having a problem running XFree86 3.2 at 1024x768 resolution.

Everything fits on the screen at 1280x1024 and is viewable but when
I comment out 1280x1024 modeline in my /etc/X86Config file to run at
1024x768 and part of the screen is lost. Specifically the bottom tool bar in
fvwm95 is gone to an unviewable portion of the display.  I am able to
move the mouse down an grab the tool bar and move it to the top of the
screen inorder to use it.

Any suggestions on how to make the 1024x768 resolution completely
fit on the viewable part of my 17" NEC Display???

Thanks

I sounds like you are still running at 1280x1024 virtual resolution.
Check the XF86Config file and set the virtual same as the screen size.
BTW, setting 1024x768 as the first selection in the modes line of
the screen section of the XF86Config file would be a better way of
starting in 1024x768 rather than commenting out the modeline.

For me it sounds more like the case that his applications
are started with the option:

  -geometry 280x324+1000+700        (example of course)

In stead of:

  -geometry 280x324-0-0

Couldn't that be the reason for the trouble???
