Edit the xorg.conf file to match the native resolution of your notebook screen. For example, something like this: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection Make sure you are editing the real xorg.conf file, not just the sample one created by Xorg -configure in your /root directory. I keep xorg.conf in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but some use /etc/X11. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
