I am having problems with my display on RedHat7.1. Since installation the display is sort or squashed to the left of the screen and stretched off the top and bottom. I have been told that I need to check Xconfigurator but I dont know what I should be looking for in the config. My video card was auto-detected fine during installation (GeForce II MX)so I do not think that card is a problem. Please bear in mind when you answer this question that I cannot see the top and bottom 2 inches of the display. PS it is the same whether using Gnome or KDE desktop.

Please help. Thanks.

Have you tried adjusting the controls on your
monitor? All monitors made today have
digital or analog controls allowing you to
adjust the Vertical/Horizontal/Pin Cushion
sizes very easily. Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,

That's the first I tried. My monitor has digital controls that use an On Screen Display interface but I cannot even get that up on the screen to adjust them, when I press the button nothing happens. My monitor is working correctly though in Windows.

Check you monitor selection in Xconfigurator.
A good starting is to select the
High Frequency SVGA capable of 1280 X 1084 @ 60 Hz.

I hope this helps

xvidtune is the tool you need. You cna use it to adjust the size of your viewable screen and to output the parameters you need to put in XF86Config. What I do is make a change and click the test button interatively until I have a screen size that I like.
