I've installed Gnome2 and xorg on my laptop, and it wont load in a full screen window. There is about an inch of black border on each side of the window. I've googled and tried possible suggestions (such as changing the xorg.conf file, etc.) but still no dice.

Edit the xorg.conf file to match the native resolution of your notebook screen. For example, something like this:


Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Make sure you are editing the real xorg.conf file, not just the sample one created by Xorg -configure in your /root directory. I keep xorg.conf in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but some use /etc/X11.
