You are actually running at 640x480, which is why you see the 1" border. The LCD can't do any better than 800x600. This can be seen by the output from the SVGA server: > (**) SVGA: Using 8 bpp, Depth 8, Color weight: 666 > (--) SVGA: Maximum allowed dot-clock: 80.000 MHz > (**) SVGA: Mode "640x480": mode clock = 25.175, clock used = 25.170 > (--) SVGA: There is no mode definition named "800x600" > (--) SVGA: Removing mode "800x600" from list of valid modes. > (--) SVGA: There is no mode definition named "1024x768" > (--) SVGA: Removing mode "1024x768" from list of valid modes. > (--) SVGA: Virtual resolution set to 640x480 The reason you don't get a 800x600 is because it has been deleted earlier when the SVGA server compares the refresh rate required by a mode to the refresh rate of your monitor. You didn't give the Monitor section, so I can't tell for sure. My 410CDT has the following Monitor section: Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31.5-48.5 VertRefresh 55-90 EndSection I am _NOT_ sure that this is the correct setting. YMMV. Not responsible for burned LCD screens. However, it does permit me to run 800x600 on my laptop. (I originally set these up with the idea of connecting the laptop to an external monitor, but haven't had the chance to do that yet) -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
