You have to give us the pleasure of torturing you a little longer!
2 simple questions:
1) Have you tried to use a different windowmanager?
2) Did you ever use wmctrl? Run man wmctrl.
You can take a look here for inspiration:
How to make jwm or wmctrl resize browser window?

After you resize by using the bottom rhs and drag the arrow and it will fill the screen.The only way to fill the screen is: go to rhs top square and reduce the window, then bottom rhs and drag the arrow and it will fill the screen. Any video content played is the small size again.
Vlc will fill the screen if the arrow in the bottom rh corner is dragged and videos play full screen.
At great personal risk of being excluded from the forum, I see that I have no other choice than to reveal our big Puppy secret:Rather unfortunately I am a beginner with almost no knowledge of terminal. so I think this is way beyond me but thanks for trying.
No it goes back to reduced size.bigpup wrote:It is a long shot, but I have seen posts that the GTK theme being used, has caused issues.
Could try changing to different GTK themes.

Press the full screen button (right upper corner of window) and see if it stays full screen.

I have tried that belham2, live cd in ram gave no difference. Virtually all progs. come out not full screen.

I only have one hdmi monitor and one pc with hdmi output.Flash wrote:What happens if you boot the same CD in a different computer? If everything works fine in a different computer, maybe a different driver would solve the problem. It's worth a try, if you can find a different driver and figure out how to use it.
What is the graphics hardware?Tahr605 32 and 64bit If I open any program, and maximise them they go about half screen, the only way to fill the screen is: minimise then drag the sides out to fill the screen. That doesnt stay as next time max size is about half.
Pale moon has the added problem anything opened in it is small size max.
Code: Select all
exec vlc "$@" &
sleep .5
wmctrl -r "vlc" -e 1,240,0,680,768

What graphics driver is being used?
This is just to see what happens.
Could you choose a different resolution.
Maybe 1024X768.
See if that has any affect???
The window size should be controlled by JWM and you indicate that it is working with drag the sides.
Nothing like that. Has c.a.t.s set to on and p-nr set to auto. Dont understand either but no mention of vid input control.tallboy wrote:Could you please activate the TV monitor's menu, and see if there is a 'Video input control', 'Signals input control' or similar function? If the monitor is set to expect a TV-signal, you may be able to toggle the input.
