You may need to create a modeline entry in xorg.conf to match your monitor. For example, in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I find this: (II) I810(0): Supported additional Video Mode: (II) I810(0): clock: 149.0 MHz Image Size: 474 x 296 mm (II) I810(0): h_active: 1680 h_sync: 1784 h_sync_end 1960 h_blank_end 2240 h_b order: 0 (II) I810(0): v_active: 1050 v_sync: 1053 v_sync_end 1059 v_blanking: 1089 v_b order: 0 (II) I810(0): Ranges: V min: 56 V max: 76 Hz, H min: 31 H max: 82 kHz, PixCloc k max 150 MHz (II) I810(0): Monitor name: AL2223W (II) I810(0): ACER Therefore, the modeline that I made for my Acer AL2223W monitor looks like this: Modeline "1680x1050" 149 1680 1784 1960 2240 1050 1053 1059 1089 You can see the relationship between the numbers. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
