Let me guess... You're running enlightenment? There is an amusing little bug in e-conf. If you toggle any one of a number of attributes and don't go anywhere near "edge flip resistance" (which is what you're running into) it gets turned on with whatever default value was left. Go into the e configuration editor under "Desktops" and disable "Edge flip resistance" and apply it. You should be good to go. If you have to go back into e-conf for any reason and change parameters, go back to Desktops, re-enable "Edge flip resistance" and then disable it once again. If you just leave it alone, it will re-enable itself, even though it says it's disabled. If you go back into e-conf later, you find it's magically re-enabled. This was reported up on the e discussion list a little while ago. Then again... Maybe this is not your problem. It was for me! :-) > Thanks in head of time guys... > > Jim. === Subject: Re: Gnome and X From: Steve Borho <sborho@ststech.com> Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 10:17:39 -0500 On Fri, Jun 18, 1999 at 10:04:35AM -0400, Chapman, Matt wrote: > Hi, > > I put Redhat 6.0 on my laptop with no problem.

First, eliminate the obvious: Is you're virtual desktop larger than your screen resolution (ie: if you move the mouse to the bottom of the screen, does it scroll)? If that's not it then run xvidtune to adjust the screen size to fit, then hit the "show" key, then paste that into the proper place in /etc/X11/XF86Config (ie: e-mail me when you get stuck). ===
