Does anyone else have a problem where the screen shows up 1 char to the right? It cuts of the rightmost character, and has a blank strip on the left. When I go to another resolution, it just cuts off more characters. It works fine when I boot from CD (distribution finnix). My current setup is a server, with devil-linux 1.2 installed on a Compact Flash disk. The monitor is something like a 21" screen, but it has worked with every other distribution. What do I need to look at to get this fixed? -Brad |

DL uses whatever refresh rate the Kernel chooses for the specific resolution. Other distros may have different settings/resolution. You should be able to simply recenter the image on your monitor. -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. |

Yeah, but it's an LCD screen, and you can't adjust the position. It seems weird that it's the terminal (no gui), and it's still having issues. I kind of thought it might be that the linux images at the top of the screen were causing it, but it was just a guess. Is there a way to turn that off to try it?

Try choosing a different resolution in the boot loader. I have a similar issue with one of my (cheap) old analog LCD displays and have to constantly re-adjust the picture.

I've looked for an auto center button, but have not found one.

It's a dell, so it's not too cheap. It's not a huge deal, we're about to put the machine in a server room and just use ssh to get on from that point on, but I just found it to be annoying when I was working on it at my desk. I guess if noone else is experiencing the issue, then it's not a big deal. Thanks for the help, -Brad |

Oops, I found the positioning setting in the monitor now, so it did have one. It makes the boot screen off center when I change it though. Oh well...
