Anyhow I guess my question is Most laptops do this, actually, since a standard VGA console is 640x400 and no laptops are that resolution anymore :). There's probably a hotkey to toggle "scale/noscale". On Sony and Dell laptops, it's <Fn>+F. The correct fix for X is to specify your laptop's native resolution in your XF86Config file. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
