Xorg resolution/display size problem
Hello,
I am running Debian 6.0 on a Sun Ultra 5 and the openbox window manager. The window is way larger than the screen and minimized icons go off the screen and I can't get them back. The mode is set to 1280x1024 in the Screen section of xorg.conf and Virtual is also set to 1280x1024 which is the max. for the LCD. xrandr shows both are in effect. I don't see any other option in xorg.conf that might change the window size. Respondents on the openbox mailing list say this is an xorg problem but I don't know what else to do.
Best regards,
Fred

OPENBOX(1) Openbox documentation OPENBOX(1)
NAME
Openbox - standards compliant, fast, light-weight, extensible window manager.
SYNOPSIS
openbox [options]
DESCRIPTION
Openbox works with your applications, and makes your desktop easier to manage. This is because the approach to its development was the
opposite of what seems to be the general case for window managers. Openbox was written first to comply with standards and to work properly.
Only when that was in place did the team turn to the visual interface.
Openbox is fully functional as a stand-alone working environment, or can be used as a drop-in replacement for the default window manager in
the GNOME or KDE desktop environments.
Openbox 3 is a completely new breed of window manager. It is not based upon any existing code base, although the visual appearance has been
based upon that of Blackbox. Openbox 2 was based on the Blackbox 0.65.0 codebase.
OPTIONS
--sm-disable
Disable connection to session manager.
--sm-client-id <ID>
Specify session management ID.
--sm-save-file <FILE>
Specify file to load a saved session from.
--replace
Replace the currently running window manager.
--help
Display some help and exit.
--version
Display the version and exit.
--sync
Run in synchronous mode (this is slow and meant for debugging X routines).
--debug
Display debugging output.
