Hi all,
I did a test page and thought that (as OO may be my main word processor for awhile) I'd include some graphics. When I view the page on screen everything appears correctly proportioned, but when I do a print out the graphics are distorted (stretched out).

If I were troubleshooting this problem on my own computer, the first thing I would think to check is the dots-per-inch resolution that the graphic(s) are set to,
Sorry to reply twice on the same mail. I figured it out. The problem was w/ my XFree86Config. I'd let sax2 do most of the work, but it really didn't get my monitor right. Afterwards I changed my physical monitor settings. Thats what got me into such a screwed up state. It really took alot of trial and error editing my XFree86Config to get something close to what I needed. I ended up changing alot of things I'd never looked at before. During this exercise it ocurred to me that it would really be nice to have some kind of ruler and circles displayed on screen while sax is working so you could see what you were really doing. Unfortunately I know nothing about programming.
