[Solved] Screen not fitting onto screen

#1 Post by milomak »

i am using xfce4 and in this image
Image

the top bar only shows the bottom half. the bottom bar only shows the top half. i also can't see anything after the r in centre on the right. part of the initial picture on the left also does not display.

my thought is that the tv it has a resolution of 1920x1080 and this is causing the issue. i have this in my xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080_60 +0+0"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
    Option         "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
    Option         "Coolbits" "1"
    Option         "TripleBuffer" "true"
    Option         "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
    Option         "RenderAccel" "true"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection
the graphics card is

Code: Select all

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2)
changing metamodes to 19200x1200 doesn't change anything.

Try changing the frequency. Example, change from 60 to something like 70 or 75. Also read the specs for your TV/monitor to determine it's native resolution - will usually work best with that setting.
800mhz, 512mb ram, dCore-jessie (Tiny Core with Debian Jessie packages) with BusyBox and Fluxbox.
Most don't have computer access, reuse or pay forward an old computer.

Have you tried running without the xorg.conf?

I have a TV and when I connected my computer to it I had the same problem.

What's your TV image options? Exactly the image size option. Normally there are various options: Zoom, Fit to screen, Automatical Width...
Maybe the size of image is set to Zoom making the image augmented and the toolbars and also part of the left and right contents semi-dissapeared.
Try changing this, if selected, to other options that you consider adequate.

I had it in Zoom mode, and I thought it was somehow a problem related to the OS, but after checking that the configuration was correct, I realised that it may be problem of TV settings, and so it was.
