I installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 on a Dell Inspiron 8100. During bootup and later, at the command line, the usable screen is much smaller than the available display size -- 2 to 3 inch margins on all sides. Does anyone know how I can fix this? In X, a resolution of 1400x1050 fills the display; but everything, including text in documents, looks really tiny. 1024x768 is my favorite setting for my desktop monitor; but is rejected by X as being too small on the laptop display. Is there a way to make things look bigger while in 1400x1050? Thanks, Andrew Gould
