Dell Inspiron 8100 text screen
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I have a Dell Inspiron 8100. Getting testing installed was pretty
straightforward except for X. X took a bit of finagaling, in part because of
the GeForce 2 video card and in part because of the LCD screen. When I
initially got X going, it came up in a small box in the center of the screen.
It rather looked as though you'd taken the horizontal and vertical size
adjustments and set them both to minimum. Once I got XF86Config-4 properly
configured for the LCD, X takes up the full screen. However, if I drop to a
text mode, it now comes up in that same squished box. I have no idea where
the configuration for text mode is maintained, or how the improper X settings
migrated there, but text mode was initially full screen. It started coming
up squished immediately after X first came up that way, and has remained even
after getting X right. If I boot into Windows and pop up a DOS console, this
does not happen. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
