@ixxie:matrix.org@ixxie:matrix.org *

Hey folks; I've hooked up an old Phillips LC7.2ELA screen to my NixOS machine as a temporary fix for a broken screen.

The problem is Gnome doesn't seem to support the screen very well; for both the automatically selected resolution, as well as others I have tried which would be a close fit, the top and the bottom of the image are trimmed.

I believe my model has the odd resolution of 1366x768; some models have 1920x1080 resolution, but I tried it and it doesn't work well (and the problem of trimmed top and bottom persists).

I've attempted to add the resolution to services.xserver.resolutions but it doesn't appear as an option in the display settings menu.

But in any case 1360x768 is available, and its the one I am using now; I somehow doubt that the trimmed top and bottom strips are explain by a 6 pixel mismatch in the width; I cannot see my status bar at all.

Not until you have linked. It's a 4 years old bug, oof.

@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnarthere was an activity in the issue recently, so I was not sure if that was not you20:00:13
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnarit is not hard to solve the issue properly (would need a separate wrapper derivation like e.g. firefox has) but it is a chore20:00:53

@hmenke:matrix.orghmenke Usually applications can be maximized by double-clicking the top window border, however, the new GNOME Console (kgx) can no longer be maximized this way. I have to right click the top bar and select “Maximize”/“Restore” from the context menu. 13:36:55
@hmenke:matrix.orghmenkeThis must be fairly recent because I do this fairly regularly and it only stopped working a few days ago. Did something change?13:37:47
