My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has the following entries for my Acer1916W (at 1440X900): Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "LCD Panel 1440x900" DisplaySize 365 228 ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 31.5 - 100.0 VertRefresh 59.0 - 75.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "ATI Radeon" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1440x900" "1440x900" EndSubSection EndSection Try using: /usr/bin/system-config-display and setting the Monitor Type to "LCD Panel 1440x900" You'll want display size at "336 269" Jeff Krebs
