hi folks,
I am testing a 22 inch Samsung 226BW wide monitor and would like some 
assistance with the aspect ratio in openSUSE 10.0.

The monitor is configured as 1680x1050, 16.7m colors, and for the most part 
looks great.. particularly color graphics.  The monitor has two down sides:
        1) fonts are a bit fuzzy out of box... took some tweaking on the fine 
controls to sharpen the fonts without "overdrive" and then the fonts are 
still not as crisp and clear as the 713V-- but they are liveable, for $329.
        2) the display is oh so very slightly stretched lengthwise. Circles are just
ever so slightly oblong and photos are ever so slightly squashed top to 
bottom.

        Is there a way in software config to sharpen the fonts?  Is there a way in 
software config to tune up the aspect ratio ever so slightly?

Ps  The monitor is correctly configured as aspect 16/10  with dimensions of 
474mm X 296mm.  

        Thanks...  

Pss  For those of you who know about the "A" vs "S" panel differences, this is 
an "A" panel... apparently made by AOC instead of Samsung "S".  This panel 
does not have any of the negative published side-affects of the normal "A" 
panel (this one was built in late March) but its fonts just aren't quite 
sharp enough... buyer beware...  fortunately Bestbuy is going to let me swap 
this one out for the "S" monitor... the bad news is that you can't tell which 
monitor it is without opening the carton and looking at the rear panel.
