Hello all,
Does anyone have any ideas about the following:
down the very left hand side of my screen, the color is kinda messed up and distorted, but just a strip roughly a half inch wide down the left side. I have tried Sax, Kvidtune, etc. to try and fix this, by moving the root window to the right so that it is not on top of this ugly area, But both my (digital) monitor controls, and these programs wont get it done: i.e., I can move the root window to the right, but then I have a big black stripe down left hand side, and there is no way to move the whole thing (whatever that is) back to the left. I dont have any such problems with windoze. Everything works fine in Linux otherwise, but I am just worried that basically i am looking at the very (left) edge of the image put out by the gun in the monitor. (and if I move the thing further to the left, the whole root window starts getting yellow and distorted if that helps) Hope this makes sense.
That is weird alright. If it works under windows, then you must be using the wrong video driver under linux, or have it otherwise setup wrong. Maybe if you posted your video card type, what Xfree driver you are using, and even the XF86config file; maybe someone will see what is off. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
