F14: what replaces s-c-d?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	By "s-c-d" I mean to abbreviate "system-config-display."

	I've been running three, sometimes four PCs, behind  a series of 
KVM switches, against an HP w2207h monitor, which is a flat panel 
1680x1050, for some years and several Fedora releases.

	Fedora's releases have always had troubles; as, I think, would 
any other OS, since the PCs are generally two to seven years old: at 
least one of them was built before any such resolution as 1680x1050 had 
been invented. (The monitor can compensate down to 1280x1024, or a little 
farther -- if the PC can send that, the monitor can stretch it to fit.)

	The troubles have gotten better but are not quite clear gone. 
They've gotten down to this: on some but not all PCs, the cursor showing 
on the screen is a couple millimeters higher than the mouse thinks; and 
some displays' windows cannot be sized nor moved so as to make their 
bottom lines clickable, or even visible.

	The big hammer used to be to take each PC in turn out from behind 
the KVM switch, connect it alone directly to the keyboard, mouse, and 
monitor; and use system-config-display.

	That would get everything close enough for the monitor to be able 
to handle the difference.

	But now I get : 

[root@Hbsk1 ~]# system-config-display
Command not found.

	Telling yum to install it fails.

[root@Hbsk1 ~]# yum install system-config-*

finds what I have, and installs a lot more; but system-config-display is 
not among them.

	What can I use? This constantly clicking on the wrong place is 
beginning to resemble the classic water torture ....

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
