Re: [aclug-L] x-windows prob (fwd)

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is sounds like it's getting the wrong resolution on the screen.  How
to fix this depends on the configuration method used.  xf86config will 
ask you for the resolutions at each color depth.  XF86Setup in 3.3.2.2 
will do a similar thing.

You might try hitting Ctrl-Alt-Numpad+ to see if it will switch
resolutions.  Also try panning around the screen by moving the mouse
off the edges to see if the programs start up somewhere else.
