Greetings,
I've finally got YDL installed and running, but I'm having some problems
with video settings. I can work in KDE/Gnome at 800x600 at 24bit color
on my PowerMac 6500/300 but when I bump the resolution up using
Xconfigurator (to 1024x768 at 24bit) the screen resolution changes, but
it's not right. The 1024 setting doesn't fill up the screen, when I move
the mouse across the screen it actually scrolls across the screen to get
to the other side. It's like it's in 800x600 but the desktop's just
bigger.
I know the card and the monitor are capable of more, under Mac OS I can
use 1024x768 at 24bit. YDL recognized my video card and I selected my
monitor from the list, but it's still not working correctly. Does anyone
know what video settings I need to pass to the kernel for this system?
The monitor is an ADI Microscan 17x and the video card is the stock ATI
Rage 2MB (on-board video) that shipped on the 6500s
Any help appreciated!
