[SOLVED] Changed display config, now errors...

[buccaneere]

I put in a new motherboard, and it wouldn't load. So I put back in my original board, and all's back to normal. Almost...

The log-in screen is displaying only the upper left quarter (taking up the whole screen).

Once everything is finished loading up, it's normal.

I changed one or 2 settings, and cannot remember what they were.

Help?

why not try a dif loggin screen it can be changed this can be done from system settings

I just added it to my xorg.conf file:

SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1440 900
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900"
EndSubSection
This is within the -Section "Screen"-

AHHHhhhh the American way - a work-around!

I checked others screens already, only to confirm that all were equally affected, and of course, they were.


I think you're onto the solution there cdtech, but instead of re-sizing each image, perhaps we can find what setting changed the size of them all? I don't know what setting I changed, that affects only log in-screens...

Thanks...

I just came back from the big NC (Avon). :)

I have the proprietary driver being used for my video card.

I assume this is why normal screen display is good. But why is the login screen too big to properly display???

Is there something in my Xorg configuration file that is wrong?

Could be.

I reconfigured X, including monitor resolution, when it said it was starting in safe graphics mode, and I hit the right selection (although I don't remember changing to a lower setting JUST for login screen resolution :confused: )

Thanks...
