Newbie Question

[Dan Phung]

hmm, well, some other things to try, from 'man xorg.conf' are:

Display Section

        ViewPort  x0 y0
               This  optional  entry  sets the upper left corner of  
the initial
               display.  This is only relevant when the virtual  
screen  resolu‐
               tion is different from the resolution of the initial  
video mode.
               If this entry is not given, then the  initial   
display  will  be
               centered in the virtual display area.

Monitor Section

        Option "Position"  "x y"
               This optional entry specifies the position of the  
monitor within
               the X screen.  (RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)
