I recently upgraded to a full woody/testing installation. After a few hours of reading & experimenting with "xf86configure" I got the new XFree86 4.0 server to work well. I still have 1 problem. The resolutions that are accepted on my monitor are "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" 24bpp . When the server runs XF86Config-4; it automatically loads the lower resolution first. I then have to manually (CTRL+ALT +/-) change the resolutions. The problem is that when I select the one I want...the virtual screen/desktop is diffetent that the actual edge of the monitor. In fact none of these modes match the screen. In the past I have been able to correct this by selecting the startup default with XF86Setup and using only that resolution. That does not seem to work with "xf86config" or "XFree86 -configure" & xf86cfg completely craps out. I think there is an option called viewport that nees to be set, but the docs do not cover it well enough to try it. Any Suggestions. It would be really cool to be able to switch screen resolutions & have them all fit the actual 13.7" viewable area. I have all of the monitor specs and the video card specs as well. Thanks! --
