I've got Windows98 and WindowsNT on the same machine so, if I adjust the monitor controls, it'll screw up the desktops on both of these. Should I go ahead with 'xvidtune'?<br />

generaly this wont happen. modern monitors save more than 10 different mode settings. you may use xvidtune of course.<br />

In this case, xvidtune would be your best choice, since it appears that you are running the same refresh/resolution on all of the OS's and you would need to make the changes from within X itself. &nbsp;Try xvidtune and attempt to adjust it with that program, that way you don't screw up your desktops in the other OS's.<br />

Hi,<br />
I'm running RedHat Linux 6.0 and the problem is that my desktop doesn't cover the whole physical screen. I've got a 17&quot; ViewSonic E771 Monitor and Creative Labs Graphic Blaster RIVA TNT. I've used xf86config to setup the XServer. How do I get the desktop to cover the whole screen?

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
