Perhaps take a look at the man page for xrandr
IIR xrandr and its DM variants only offer a choice based on what the X server autoconfigures or what is defined in the xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf
Ken, this late model way of setting the xserver is much nicer than the old single file method. You only have to specify what you need to 'override' rather than write a complete config file.
I'm sure it is but not knowing what to change and where to change it can be daunting for the uninformed. Can you point people to documentation for changing the settings?
Man xorg.conf perhaps?
$ apropos xorg.conf xorg.conf (5) - configuration files for Xorg X server xorg.conf.d (5) - configuration files for Xorg X server
Try playing with the Virtual and Viewport options in "Section Screen" "SubSection Display".
Online http://www.x.org/
Doens't your display have some kind of 'auto' or a manual 'shift'?
No, it is a laptop and has no external controls. It's not a huge issue, just that the left edge of the screen is too far left and I was hoping to "easily" adjust the settings. I'll take a look at the man pages and see if I can figure it out. :-) -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
