Default window size and placement -- change it where?
I've had this ever since installation, and it's starting to get on my nerves, so I'd like to fix it. Anyone know how? As far as I know I'm under a Gnome display....
Thanks in advance...

hi,
sounds like you don't have X configured to run at 1920x1080. what does the output of xrandr say? for example, on my box i see this:
Code:$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1920 x 1200
so you might need to force X into that resolution by defining it in the xorg.conf file. it is usually here:
Code:/etc/X11/xorg.conf
here is an example of what the section in the xorg.conf file might look like:
Code:Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1920x1200" EndSubSection EndSection
Code:X -config /tmp/xorg.conf
Code:startx
note that you can try to have X write a config file for you, too. try this (as root):
Code:X -configure
note that you may need to futz with the Monitor section of the config file, too. particularly, the VertRefresh, HorizSync and DisplaySize parameters. for example, i have something like this:
Code:Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Dell E193FP" DisplaySize 380 300 HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 Option "dpms" EndSection

Atreyu: Thanks for the reply... When I run the code supplied I get:

What video hardware do you have, and what Linux distribution+version+kernel+video driver are you running?

Rubberman... Thanks for the reply..
I'm using an Intel i5-3450 CPU with internal video, as I understand it.
I have this output from "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i driver", selected this from the output. .
[2184605.392] X.Org Video Driver: 12.1
[2184605.392] X.Org XInput driver : 16.0
The "uname -r" returns:
3.2.0-4-amd64
Finally I have:
Code:lspci -v | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Thanks...

Run the command "lsmod" and post the output here inside code blocks. Thanks.
Also, list the xorg drivers for intel chip sets in your synaptic package manager.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

Is this an Apple Mac running Linux? In any case, the module that is handling video is this one:
video 17683 1 i915
That is the Intel i915 driver. You might want to verify that this is the best (most current) hardware driver for your gear.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

also, what kind of monitor do you have? Did you look up the specs and put the proper values in your xorg.conf?

From what I can tell the i915 is the current and best for my machine. It is a home built computer from Fry's Electronics generally used to boot Windows code. I have a HD with Windows 8 on it, but hate it so have it in the closet. My monitor is a new HP 2311x and will set itself to the video stream if I ask it to. This does work, but I'd prefer it to be up at the boot. It' s hard to convince the spouse to switch to Linux if you have to do a bunch of manual stuff just to get it up.... I looked on the Internet and found that the i915 driver is the latest and greatest driver, so I guess it's ok. I'll leave this up for a couple of day so you can comment, then I'll close it. Also, I don't have an 'xorg.conf' file on this machine and understand it's optional. The Intel stuff said if I have one it has to be correct for the driver to work properly.
Thanks to all...
Jack
