One of my past laptops (I can't remember for sure, but I'm pretty sure it was the Toshiba Satellite I used to have) suddenly booted with a border one day after I reloaded the OS and no matter what I did with reloading drivers, changing configs, whatever... nothing helped. After a lot of unnecessary tweaking and testing, it turned out that the CMOS on that particular model of Satellite had a setting that gave two display modes (for some unknown reason). One was full screen and the other shrunk the display and a border around it. I'm almost positive that it was the Toshiba. You may want to take a look at that. -Hawk -----Original Message----- From: fedora-config-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-config-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Laercio Xisto Braga Cavalcanti Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 10:55 AM To: 'Discussions about configuration tool development' Subject: RE: How to configure monitor of my notebook toshiba with fedora Hi, Thanks for your help, but it didn´t work. My system didn´t recognise the command redhat-config-display, nor system-config-xfree86, nor system-config-display. I try redhat-config-xfree86 but there are no option to configure the screen size and if I choose the recognized monitor (Toshiba TOS5082) and adapter (Trident Cyber 9525 generic) it don´t work, i.e. the size of the screen remains less than the monitor size (14´1). Can it be a consequence of an incorrect bios setup? Do anybody knows how to enter setup because after I installed Fedora, I press F2 type password and receive the following screen: Valid password entered, system is now starting up. Select boot device [C]: CD-ROM [F}: FDD [B]: Built-in HDD [D}: Default SUSTEM SETUP Device Press [C],[F],[B] or [D]. I tryed all these options and none of them work.

I have a Toshiba Satellite. If your Tosh has an nvidia chip in it you will need the nvidia drivers. You need them because even if you fix the black border( which I don't think happens unless you install the nvidia drivers ) you will most likely lose your mouse pointer when it comes back from suspend. The mouse cursor will just not show up on the screen.
