In this case X is not a problem, just the tty consoles. I can't get them to fill the entire screen. I do get all 80x25, 80x34, or whatever resolution, just in a reduced screen size.
Any ideas? -Craig -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: Laptop install, console screen small You can try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and during that choose 1024x768 as the window size.. I'm guess that you accepted the options that it provided to you when you first did your setup. Or you can go in an edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and in there add the 1024x768 option. That is the screen size that I use on my HP Pavilion. --- Craig Coles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have had to reinstall my laptop.
