Re: Making tcl/tk work correctly with a wide-screen monitor

I recently bought a wide-screen monitor to use with my home PC running
linux. All the other applications look good, but the wish apps all have
extra spacing between the letters, and the letters themselves appear to be
a bit stretched horizontally. Here's what I've got in XF86Config for the monitor setup for my default
resolution:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "SyncMaster940bw"
VendorName "Samsung"
HorizSync 30-81
VertRefresh 56-75

# Sony Vaio C1(X,XS,VE,VN)?
# 1440x900 @ 85.6 Hz, 48 kHz hsync
ModeLine "1440x900" 106.5 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync -vsync

I installed ActiveTcl (and BLT) prior to switching monitors and changing
XF86Config.

You need the "DisplaySize" entry in your your Monitor section:

The same monitor as configured on a customers system:

Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize 409 256
HorizSync 30-90
Identifier "Monitor[0]"
ModelName "1440X900@70HZ"
Option "DPMS"
VendorName "--> LCD"
VertRefresh 58-72
UseModes "Modes[0]"
EndSection
