tlug: Xwindow Configuration



I am  configuring my X with XF86Setup in tow different systems.

In the first one, although I indicate a 800x600 resolution monitor as my choice,
it just starts a 640x480.
A quick look to the XF86Config file shows that there is no 800x600 mode defined.

Moreover, the funny thing is that when I start xemacs or netscape, its window
will be larger than the monitor, it splits along the virtual window...it gets
tricky to resize it. Well, i think this is a windows manager problem

In the second one, I just get a

"Fatal server error:
No valid modes found."

although the XF86Config file seems okay to me.

Seems I will have to go through the HOWTO (sigh). XF86Setup doesn't seem to be
so performing.

By the way, this programm proposes to start xvidtune at the end of the
"configuration". xvidtune can fix things?

thanks in advance.
