The display does not have hardware adjustment controls but instead has a piece of MS Windows-only software. Initially, the horizontal alignment of the desktop image was shifted to the left, so that some of the left side of the image could not be seen and there was a space of unused screen about 9 mm wide between the right side of the image and the screen edge. I tried to fix this by changing the horizontal sync settings in my xorg.conf file from the original setting of "30.0 - 81.0". After playing for a while with different values, I found that using "12.0 - 63.0" displays the full image but leaves unused screen space on both sides (~ 3 mm on the left and 7 mm on the right). If I set the range to "11.0 - 62.0", the image shift to the right leaving about 4 mm of unused screen on the left and cuts off about 4 mm of image on the right. I could find no settings that used the entire screen. Adjusting the display size setting seemed to make no difference. I have attached the log file. On a related problem, I can't increase the screen size to what I would like. I am dual-booting XP and my hardware configuration works fine up to 1280x1024, 24 bit colour, filling the entire screen. However, no setting for this large of a screen is available in my Fedora configuration tool. It looks to me like some explaination for this is given in the attached log, but don't know how to interpret or solve the problem. I would hate to have my MS Windows desktop looking nicer than Linux, so I would very much appreciate any help that might be offered. Thanks! -- Doug <<...>> </BODY> </HTML>
