Hi, I'm having a weird issue with Kivio and Adobe Acrobat, all the pages look streched.

This is a document open with KPDF: http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/8527/kpdfil7.png The same document with Acrobat: http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/5513/acrobattw4.png * Other apps like OpenOffice Writer don't have this issue. * Zoom changes nothing. * VGA: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) * Driver: i810 according to xorg.conf * I'm not quite sure if this starting recently or happened since install.

Looks familiar... I ran into this with 10.0. It's not happening to me anymore (in 10.2) though. Acrobat does (used to do?) some funny magic with the screen dimensions as set in your xorg.conf file. It bases its rendering on those dimensions. You could take a look in you xorg.conf and check to see that the physical screen dimensions are set correctly.

Here's part of xorg.conf, i don't see any phisical dimentions declaration:

--------------------------Section "Monitor" DisplaySize 662 207 ^^^^^^^^^^^ size in mm Horz/Vert

In this case = 26" x 8.14". To convert inches to MM, inches X 25.4 = MM. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Oops, overlooked that line.... Well if that's 66cm, that must be wrong.... Should i set up it by had with yast?, i'll better look for the specs of the laptop.... Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can do a quick and dirty fix on this if you're comfortable editing by hand... - Measure the physical dimensions of your monitor (use a ruler, tape measure etc. or get it from the monitor spec sheet if you have it) - Log out of KDE - Log in as root (in a terminal, not in a GUI) - Switch to run level 3 (init 3) - Backup your existing xorg.conf (just in case) - Use your favorite text editor, and edit xorg.conf - Change the DisplaySize setting to match the actual (measured) dimensions of your monitor screen - Save, and test by restarting X (eg switch to a second terminal, log in as user and use startx to launch KDE.. if you have any errors they will be show in the terminal... or just switch back to run level 5) You can do the same through YAST (SAX2) if you prefer. I'd still recommend backing up your existing working xorg.conf first. If it works, you know you're on the right track (if it fails, it's a simple matter of restoring your xorg.conf backup to get back to where you were)... next test is make sure that your dual head stuff still works as expected. Just guessing here, but It's possible that the odd monitor dimension was set that large by SAX when you set up your dual head stuff.

Weird, SAX, when asked to set the dimensions by hand, gives the good ones (not the same in xorg.conf), already downloaded the specs of the laptop, i'll test it today. Should that wrong parameters affect all the apps? Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks a lot for the help, changing the screen size solved the problem, i'm not sure how the wrong sizes got there. Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
