Re: [SLE] X server is small and looks funny
Hello,
You have 4meg RAM, correct? That could be the problem.
My understanding is that you require something like
32mb or so for X.
Not 100% sure but it might be right.

I am trying to install linux on P-II 300 with RIVA 128 - 4mb. The installation went fine but the x server is kind of funny. First, it doesn't fill the whole screen; it is just a small square on the middle of it. Second, the taskbar is not there. Linux can find all the parameters so I don't know what is wrong? The monitor is LG 20".
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Eduardo

Not quite. 4 MB is sufficient (I have used cards that had 2 MB - also worked). But don't expect to be able to run 1600x1200 @ 80 Hz and zillions of colours ;-)

You can try to change your keyboard's resolution with keyboard shortcuts. I thought it was Ctrl> + and <Ctrl> - (the '+' and '-' on the numerical pad at the right of your keyboard. Might have been <Alt> instead of <Ctrl>.
