Edit your /etc/X11/XFree86.conf file, search down through to the screen section that shows a line:
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" etc
The first resolution shown is your default, try 1280x1024 (usually the actual resolution for a 17 inch flat panel) (just press CTRL+ALT+ BACKSPACE to restart X after saving the file, does that help?
If not, look up the maximum vertical & horrizontal frequencies for your monitor (check your monitor's MANUAL) and make sure that's the freq shown in the /etc/X11/XFree86.conf file
PS when you go to FC2, the config file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hello video freaks,
I have a Proview 17" monitor that I use with FC1. For reasons I don't understand there is a disconnect in a video issue. Sometimes if I open a program its window will be partly off screen, often leaving buttons and other controls off screen. Because the grab bar is at the top of the screen I can not move the window to make them visible. I can slide the whole window sideways or down ok, but I can not get access to the bottom bits.
Sometimes (but not always) I can click the maximize widget which will bring the window perfectly into alignment with the visible screen and give me access. I have twiddled my fingers off adjusting the screen width and height buttons, I am satisfied the problem doesn't lie there.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Is this a common issue?
Dave
