Hi,
I'm running OpenBSD 4.2 Xorg 7.2 and X is misbehaving.
X starts ok (using startx) but the there lot of wasted space on the left
hand side of the screen .
xvidtune prints this,
hsync range 0: 28.00 - 83.00
vsync range 0: 56.00 - 75.00
"1440x900" 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 +hsync
-vsyn
If I control Ctl Alt + the all the available screen is used and run
xvidtune it displays
hsync range 0: 28.00 - 83.00
vsync range 0: 56.00 - 75.00
"1440x900" 136.75 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 903 909 942 -hsync
+vsync
This looks great, fills the display, everything is in proportion,
squares are square etc..
I have copied the above mode line in my xorg.conf s
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
#DisplaySize 411 263
ModeLine "1440x900" 136.75 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 903 909
942 -hsync +vsync
#ModeLine "1440x900_106.6" 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903
909 934 +hsync -vsync
#HorizSync 28.0 - 83.0
#VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
and
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
# ViewPort 0 0
Modes "1440x900"
EndSubSection
EndSection
When I restart I would expect X to use all the display but it does not,
I still get the squashed display.
Any ideas how to fix this?
