The first time I logged in after installing F8, the background picture covered the entire screen but the top menu bar and bottom task bar only extended about 2/3 the width of the screen and the bottom task bar was not at the bottom of the screen but about 1/2 the way up.
After playing with the screen resolutions, I have 1152x864@60Hz and the bars extend all the way across the screen and the task bar is at the bottom.
I have 2 problems:
1) The 1st 1/2 inch of the screen is missing of the left side which, for some reason is really bugging me.
2) The resolution I really want is 1280x1024@75Hz. This is a dual boot machine at 1280x1024@75Hz is what I use in Windows
Can anyone give me some ideas as to why I can't get my desired resolution?
Below is some info from Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Thanks,
Steve
I have an ATI Radeon X800 PCIE graphics card and a generic 20" LCD monitor.
If I look in my Xorg.0.log file I see that the resolution I want is listed but then I see this line for output DVI-1:
(II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range)
(II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (vrefresh out of range)
(II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (vrefresh out of range)
and when it prints out the probed modes for DVI-1, 1280x1024 is not there. A similar thing happens for DVI-0 and this time the reasons given are:
(II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
(II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
(II) RADEON(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
However, when the probed modes are printed this line shows up:
(II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x1024"x75.0 135.00 1280 1296 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 +hsync +vsync (80.0 kHz)
Near the bottom of the log, it says:
(II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-1 using initial mode 1152x864
(II) RADEON(0): Output DVI-0 using initial mode 1152x864
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has this in it:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
