Greetings, I am running Freebsd 4.0 - release. I have read the handbook and followed along with the configuration steps. I had my monitor frequencies, and my exact video card was listed in the card db. I have KDE installed. My problem is that the screen is bigger than the display. xf86config never asked me: You can have a virtual screen (desktop), which is screen area that is larger than the physical screen and which is panned by moving the mouse to the edge of the screen. If you don't want virtual desktop at a certain resolution, you cannot have modes listed that are larger. Each color depth can have a differently-sized virtual screen Please answer the following question with either 'y' or 'n'. Do you want a virtual screen that is larger than the physical screen? I looked in the XF86Config file and found no reference to virtual screen size. How do I disable this ? Also, the desktop displayed in KDE does not fill my monitor screen. Wide black areas exist around the desktop. How do I make it fill the screen ? I have a KVM that I switch between a Windows box and my Freebsd box, so using the monitor controls to adjust and have to do it again each time I switch, doesn't thrill me. I had Linux on one of my machines, and it displayed the KDE desktop full screen, so I know it can be done. Lastly, I get a boatload of "psmintr out of sync" error messages when I use my KVM (Belkin Omni Cube with quality cables). I searched the mailing list, and read the responses, but found nothing definitive. Some of the solutions I tried didn't do a thing. Is there a solution? Another Mouse, although cheap, wouldn't be an ideal solution. thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
