Date: 14 Jan 1993 07:27:33 +0100 Organization: Bergen By Byte A/S Lines: 14 Message-ID: <1j3154INNc4@gandalf.bbb.no> NNTP-Posting-Host: gandalf.bbb.no Keywords: XFree86 386BSD codrv displaysize Does XFree86 1.1 ignore the configuration option DisplaySize? I'm running X386 as precompiled for use with CO0 on 386BSD on an ET4000 card, and have (amongst other) in my "vga256" section an entry "displaysize 320 200" which seems to be ignored. There are no error messages output. I'm starting X by ways of "xdm" if that should have any bearing on the matter. xdpyinfo reports back a physical screen size of 346x220 mm whatever values I put into this configuration line. What gives? -- Thorsten Lockert | postmaster@bbb.no | Ibsensgate 122 | hostmaster@bbb.no | Universe, n.: N-5037 Solheimsviken | tholo@bbb.no | The problem. Norway | |
