Hi. I have a friend who has a 17" CTX CTS 1760 Proscan monitor and an
Orchid Celsius localbus video card. We managed to get X running, sort
of, only the image being displayed is incredibly huge, regardless of the
resolution [we've tried 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768, all with similar
results. The higher resolutions shrink the picture a bit, but not enough
to make it usable.]
When we start X, the "logo" is partially displayed in the lower left
corner of the screen. Then bash comes up in what resembles 20-column
mode. Openwin has the same problem.. huge menus that scroll off the
screen. By "huge" I don't mean with alot of options.. I mean the size
of the letters is gigantic.
I have tweaked all sorts of values in Xconfig, but the problem doesn't
go away. Is there another file that controls this?
My next idea is to attempt to set the resolution to something like 2048x1024
and see what happens.
Any ideas are welcome.
