Display Size? How to change?

[[Digital-X-Treme]]

Hi. I have just installed RedHat 7 on my Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop.

I have edited my XF86Config file with the following data:


Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCD Panel"
VendorName "IBM"
ModelName "ITSX93"
HorizSync 30-100
VertRefresh 50-100

ModeLine "1400x1050" 107 1400 1464 1784 1912 1050 1052 1064 1090
EndSection


Now, this works beautifully, and i have a nice big 32bit 1400x1050 resolution... But.

The thing is, i have to 'scroll' around the screen using my mouse. For example, say i want to view the topright of the desktop, i have to scroll the mouse up to the top right of the screen so that the view is scrolled into view.

Does anyone know how to set the view so that everything is contained within the 1400x1050, so that i don't have to scroll?

Thanks in advance.

I think you have to try a lower resolution to avoid scrolling. If you do, you can always use the "Desk Guide applet" to provide virtual screens - and click to enter or scroll to enter.

Are there any lines starting with
Virtual ...
in your XF86Config file??


They should be in the Display SubSection in case they are there.
