This morning all of a sudden my display magnified a lot and I could only see a
bit of it on my screen. I haev been trying to get it right and now I have
something about the right size, but with black bars across both bottom and top
of the screen, and as I move up and down the display I lose the edges of it
into the black.
I booted off a disk of the same OS, Kubuntu 20.04 and that said the display
should be 1680x 1050
I tried to set this, and xrandr now gives me:

but I still have the black bits. The Menu control for adjusting the screen
doesn't help, it just moves the display on the screen.
it is a Flatron L225WS VGA screen.
I have tried setting it in the kubuntu settings and the N-Vidia settings, but
not got anywhere.
Any suggestions?
Peter
After much fooling around, deleted /etc/X11/xorg.conf and screen is up to full
size again. Hooray, except that the print size is too small on the tabs on the
status line and in terminal.
