I have finally configured Xwindows at 1024 x 768.
The Xwindow does not fill the entire screen; there
is an approximately 1.5 cm black border around
the window on all sides. Is this normal? Can I get
rid of it? I don't want to have to resize the screen
every time I switch back and forth between Windoze
and Linux. (I know . . . lazy!) :)
Next, how can I move, control or get rid of the small
rectangle with the 18 squares that lets you switch
between virtual windows? It seems like it's always
in the way of window controls, and I can't move it or
minimize it. And how about the little box next to it that
looks like some kind of system monitor?
Finally, I'd like to know more about mouse cursor movement.
I have always liked the Xwindow system of having a window
activate when the cursor passes over it. But I have to
confess I like the cursor movement in Windoze better.
I know you can accelerate the cursor movement in X,
but the acceleration is kind of strange. Is there a way to
emulate the Windoze tracking while keeping the other
X characteristics?
TIA,
Lance
