[Linux-fbdev-users] XF86_FBDev on JavaStation

[Bernd O. C. <be...@cs...>]

Hello:

I'm running XF86_FBDev on a JavaStation Krups (essentially a diskless Sparc)
mounting a RedHat 6.2 root file system.  While XF86_FBDev basically works,
I'm left with some annoyances :-(

(1) When I start X, everthing works just fine except that I have a small
white border (the color seems to be the one of the Krups' boot screen)
around the X desktop.  My Monitor is a Sony 420GS.

  How do I get rid of the border?  Does the XF86_FBDev X server look at
ModeLine entries in XF86Config's section "Monitor".  The sample config file
from ultralinux.org has some ModeLine entries, but they are commented out.
At this point, I don't have any ModeLine entries.  Any suggestions?

(2) X comes up with 1024x768 pixels.  I'd like to run 1280x1024 pixels.
Where is this specified?  Is it a mode entry in XF86Config's section
"Screen"?  Or is it rather a kernel parameter?  Would fbset help here?

(3) Also, my monitor says it's running at 60Hz.  I really would like to have
a more ergonomic refresh rate of, say, 75Hz.  Again, is this done by a
ModeLine entry, a kernel parameter or fbset?

Thanks!
