Hi All,
Thank you in advance.
I've been playing around with fluxbox, and I've really been liking it. Anyhow, for reasons that aren't pertinant to this problem, I went back to Gnome for now. But a whole bunch of stuff was screwed up. I've been able to fix most of it, but I'm having the most perplexing problem.
When I open an appearance preferences window and go to the background tab, my thumbnails are distorted. I have a dual head setup with two widescreen monitors, so when I have a 1680x1050 image tiled, I usually expect to see two of them side by side in the thumbnail. Somehow, the application is misunderstanding my resolution, so when I tile the images, the thumbnails have about 27x14~380 tiles in the thumbail! Please see the attached screen-cap' for a more clear illustration of the issue.
I haven't been able to use the latest kernel (I'm still on the 19 kernel) because it won't recognize my xwindow setup (it starts in low graphics mode and tells me I need to set it up). Might this be in any way related?
Thanks!
Tim.
