Re: X window too big
>From a xterm run xwininfo and click on the main window, this will give
you the resolution that it is running at. Try ctrl-alt-numpad- till you get to the resolution that you want to be at. Odds are it will still
look bad not to worry. From the xterm run xvidtune click OK on the scary
message. Click on show and make a note of the modline it returns. Now
use a combo of the vidtune controls and your monitors onscreen contorls
to get it to look like you want it to no rolling flickering and that
kind of stuff. Click on show again and it should give you a different
modline. Now in your sf86config file find the modline that matches
the first one and replace it with the second one. That should take care
of it.
