Is there anyone out there who *knows* what the x,y geometry of a notebook's LCD screen might be?? I am attempting to set the correct figures but still don't have it quite right: 320x200 is close, but... :-\ ...I'm weary of killing the x-server on the off-chance that I *finally* have it RIGHT!
Hm. Another top-poster. :-\ At any rate, thanks for the response. :-) Fact is, I have been able to find absolutely nothing on this topic except for "I checked mine before installing SuSE 9.2..." but how did they know to check it, first? It totally blind-sided me. Further, the manual (what manual!?) is totally silent on this issue. Googling didn't bring up anything from HP's web site, either, unfortunately. That is why I asked the question. :-)
Maybe if you look real close, you can count them. ;)
Seriously, though, can't X find the resolution using DPMS or whatever acronym monitors use to speak? I know that, on my Gentoo machines, I usually just run "X --cofigure" to generate a base xorg.conf, and edit as neccesary. Normally, modern monitors (and, I'd think, laptop displays) report their maximum supported resolution. I'll bet that, if you run "X -configure -verbose 2 -logfile xlog" and then read xlog and xorg.conf.new, you'll get *something* interesting...
--Danny, who doesn't at all miss using xconfig, or whatever the CLI X configurator was called
There's a good idea. I'm currently playing w/Gentoo, as well. Perhaps I'll test it out on that distro, then tweak SuSE. -- ..."Yogi" CH Namasté Yoga Studio
