517.0. "My whole screen got scaled down, WHY?" by DIODE::CROWELL (Jon Crowell) Fri Mar 31 1989 10:36

    
    I just upgraded my Mayfair/GPX to T5.2-410 VMS/DECWINDOWS and found
    something strange.   The size of the usable window shrunk on VR290
    by about 10%.  ie. That is the total usable area on my screen is
    missing about 1/2 inch around the edges??  
    
    It looks like the size of the DECterm windows also shrunk
    proportianaly.  Is there some SYSGEN parameter that is a muck?
    
    HELP

517.1	Sounds like hardware	STAR::BMATTHEWS		`Fri Mar 31 1989 13:46`	4
	Did you power off and on your monitor between upgrades? I would have field service check your monitor as the first course of action. Bill
517.2	Closure, Bad H/W	DIODE::CROWELL	Jon Crowell	`Wed Jun 21 1989 12:36`	3
	Just to close on this it was a bad VR290 that had its screen shrink. After this I saw one other on my floor do the same thing..
