Message: 3 Date: Mon, 07 Jun 2004 21:11:56 -0700 From: "Mike Eriksen" <mike_eriksen@hotmail.com> Subject: Inspiron 8100 To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Message-ID: <BAY19-F76Gq5wQiWly200058f5f@hotmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed I am a novice to this all and just recently loaded FreeBSD 5.2.1. It is up and running except that I have a black border around my screen. I have the nvidia GeForce driver and was wondering what anyone else has done to correct this issue. I have seen a few remedies, but I am still not sure how to implement them. Thank you for your thoughts. ~Mike~ ------------------------------ You'll need to add the following to your kernel and recompile: (note that you should be able to load these as modules as well) options SC_PIXEL_MODE options VESA Once you have recompiled at a command prompt type: vidcontrol -i mode |grep T This will give you a list of modes that are supported by your video card. You can change your modes to the various ones listed by typing the following command: vidcontrol MODE where MODE equals one of the modes that was listed by the previous command. If none of these suit your fancy, try the following: vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600 You can learn more by typing Man vidcontrol To make these changes permanent add one of the following to your /etc/rc.conf file: allscreens_flags="MODE" or allscreens_flags="-g 100x37 VESA_800x600" Hope this helps!
