Brissette >Release: 4.0 >Organization: >Environment: >Description: When I start the X Window System, the graphical display only covers part of the screen on my laptop (an old Micron Millennia Transport). I've tried both "800x600" and "640x480" for dimensions in /etc/XF86Config, but I still can't get the X display to fill the entire screen. Using "1024x760" hangs the system. My chipset is Cirrus7xxx. I'm not sure how to set the horiz. and vert. sync numbers. I've played around with them a little bit, but the display size does not change, even though I have discovered how to make a "virtual" console (where the entire area of the X display is not all shown on the screen at once. You have to move the mouse beyond the edge of the display to get to the edges and the corners. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
