KDE: Windows Size & Screen Size

[timbolt]

HEllo! I have recently install Peanut Linux which has XF86 and KDE. Working quite well after installtion.

This was done on an old laptop with an 80 column x 25 row screen. In windows it was configured for 640 x 480 resolution. (I trying to find manufacter info in syn rates and refresh, etc).

After setting up XF86 in a mode that seemed to work, I ran KDE. This works, and everything is placed correctly on the destop (fits on screen). However in any of the applications I open (including the destop configuration etc) that windows run off the screen and I can not grab corners to not "OK" buttons to accept changes.

I have both chosen the have a virtual destop bigger than the screen and reconfigured not to.

Nothig changes!

All help appreciated!

Hey I know this one! Try hitting crl-alt-keypadplus to change to a higher resolution. If this doesn't work use xf86config to set up your resolutions (or whatever you need to do to set it up in your flavor of Linux)

Try adding Virtual 0 0 as follows.

Section "Screen"
Driver "SVGA"
Device "Primary Card"
Monitor "Primary Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1600x1200/70Hz" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "1600x1200/70Hz" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1600x1200/70Hz" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200/70Hz" "640x480"

Does this Ctrl+Alt+ PLus include the (Shift & = KeyPlus?)


I do not have a number pag on the keyboard as it is a Laptop.

CTRl+Alt+Plus does nothing as does Ctrl+Alt+Minus.

Cheers.
