disp with ds9 shows only a 500x500 clipping

Hello!
Today I installed iraf linux binary v2.14 distribution, x11iraf linux binary distribution 1.3.1 with the patched redhat binary of gxterm and the 5.2 linux binary of ds9.
If try to view a fit image using disp, ds9 shows only a 500x500 clipping of it :(

This usually means that either you didn't reset your 'stdimage' environment variable to be as big as the image (and so you're using the default 512x512 frame buffer), or when you did the installation a /usr/local/lib/imtoolrc link wasn't created which points to $iraf/dev/imtoolrc and so DS9 doesn't have a valid table of frame buffer sizes.
You can display with the 'fill' parameter enabled and the image will be scaled to fit whatever size stdimage you set, use the GDEVICES command to get a list of available stdimage sizes. If you cannot write to the /usr/local/lib directory, you can copy the $iraf/dev/imtoolrc file to ".imtoolrc" in your unix home directory and restart DS9 to use a private version.

Hello Mike,
thank you for your anwser. It's a pitty I'm completly new to iraf, and I don't know, how I can solve this issue.
The link you mentioned seems to be set correctly:
What do I need to put in this file? How can I change the used "framebuffer"?
How can I run disp with the "fill" parameter?
Kind regards
Konstantin

The imtoolrc file looks fine.
To reset the frame buffer size, use the GDEVICES command to get a list of available sizes. You can reset this on the command-line with the command like
Or look in your login.cl file and change/uncomment (by removing the '#') the value set there.
To display with the 'fill' parameter set, use either of
