Thanks for your help, I too have a dual boot system so it would affect both
systems. I selected custom and went through the different setting and could
still not improve the resolution or the picture orientation. Are there
other downloadable choices for monitors from the Linux web site? I didn't
think I had a difficult monitor to configure, its a dell and I thought that
would be a generic install. It detects my video card as well. When you
said you re-installed the system does that mean you ran Xconfigurator? from
an x window?
thanks.
Greg
