fbset guru?

[Peter Magnusson]

Any fbset guru here? :)

I have been using this mode on my tv for like 2 years:

fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -left 40 -right 0 -upper 61 -lower 32 -hslen 46 -vslen 4
-xres 704 -yres 528 -vxres 704 -vyres 528 -depth 32 -laced false -bcast
true

It took alot of time to figure it out to get it almost right. But the
problem with this mode is that its somewhat to wide to the right. I have
tried to fix it but I dont find any logic in fbset :) Its just get worse.

^-- TV ^-- my fb mode
screen

So I want to shrink this fb mode but not not modify the left side, up or
down. Any fbset guru here that can tell which parameters I should change to
achieve this? Just a wink so I know which ones I should try (and which I
shouldnt!)...

I got G400 MAX.

Hi,

I'm shurly not a fb guru, but i have had the same problem with my normal
Screen, if I get you right.
I used the "right" or "left" option of the matroxfb_base kernel modul.
You can try that or play around with the right option of fbset. But I
don't know if it works the same like the matrox modul.
You also can try to use the "move" option (try "man fbset")

Hope this is helpfull!

Ok, didnt know that matroxfb_base could do that aswell. It seems that
its the same options that are used in fbset that you could use with
matroxfb_base.

hmm.. so its equal complicated as with fbset.
