Duaine As I wrote earlier, there's nothing wrong with running a 1,280 x 1,024 display at 1,024 x 768 if you're happy with it. I just remember being seriously annoyed whenever a newly configured system would refuse to let me use all the available screen 'real estate'. :-) I got very good at fine tuning my display configurations "to taste" including regularly 'bumping' DPI up to
<snipped> the next setting and then adjusting font sizes, etc., until I was happy with it.

What kind of monitor are YOU using....I've NEVER had this problem....all the ones I've ever used uses the full "real estate" as you put it.
Just sayin'
I _did_ write "I remember" indicating past tense. I'm currently running two native resolution LCDs in twinview mode. Maximizing screen 'real estate' isn't as much of an issue for me as it used to be. In any case, your monitor says "optimum" next to the native 1,280 x 1,024 setting. By definition, and according to the manufacturer's own specifications, you're not utilizing it to it's fullest. This isn't a criticism. I'm just stating the obvious. As I've already written, leave it as it is if you're happy with it EOT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
