870392 2010-03-27 20:46:00 I have Puppy running on my 32bit duel core sata box with one small problem:
When it boots it does not fill the screen (19' Phillips)but I get a more or less square picture and printing a bit hard to read.If I leave it and the system goes in to standby then when i awaken it all is good and the screen is as should be.
In XP the resolution is 1440x900 but no matter what resolution I try in Puppy it is the same until it "sleeps and wakes up"

Id post on the puppy linux forum or check in on the irc
There might be something not quite right in the config files

Are you running xorg or xvesa?
