KDE Problems

[MegaFrogg]

Just installed Slackware 8.1, and I boot into KDE. The desktop is too big for my monitor, so I have to drag the mouse around so i can see things off the screen. What might I be able to do to fix this?

It could be that you have Virtual or ViewPort set at a higher resolution.

Check and modify if necessary your /etc/X11/XF86Config or -4 and set Virtual or ViewPort to '0 0'.

i.e.


Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Geforce3"
Monitor "Compaq P2200"
DefaultDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1800x1440/70Hz" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1800x1440/70Hz" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1800x1440/70Hz" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1800x1440/70Hz" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection

Check your /var/log/XFree86.0.log and see which configuration file is being used by X. Edit that file to make changes to your virtual desktop and then restart X.
