Being on the cutting edge of this distro release stuff is going to generate problems, whether it's RH7.0 or LM7.2. LM7.2 has not only XFree86 4.01 but it's got a new, not completely ready for prime time KDE. If you're having X problems you might consider installing LM7.1.

Is sounds like your modelines are messed up - try running xvidtune as root and see if you can't adjust your picture to look normal from there.

[expert] CL Voodoo Banshee and other 7.2 bugs!
I'm posting this in the slim hopes someone's gotta answer.. After running RH 6.2 changing to mdk 7.1 was the most awsome install of linux I ever had, and I posted it here.. However, 7.2's got a few problems ( and I don't think they are Mandrake problems!!! ).. I was running RH 6.2 and tried RH 7 beta.. For 3 days I tried to get my ( mandrake working ) CL Voodoo Banshee and Maxtech 17" monitor working properly in 1280x1024.. I gave up and dloaded mdk 7.1.. ( I used mdk 5.3 as my FIRST PRODUCTIVE linux distro and kept mdk until the 7.0 horror stories appeared ).. Anyway, RH 7 beta contained the ( at the time brand new Xfree 4.0 server )... I tried for 3 days to get my vid/monitor combo to work.. All with the same result, pix, but a terribly distorted pincushion ( curve )... Now since mdk 7.2 has xfree 4.0 I have the SAME problem ( duh, guess its xfree 4.0?? :) ) So, I think it's an Xfree 4.0/Voodoo Banshee problem and I'm so pissed 'cause KDE 2.0 looks so good and as usual MDK installed flawless.. But in the slim hopes someone ELSE is running a CL Voodoo Banshee and has fixed this, please post and better yet email me!! Since I think I will try to go back to a known good ( Matrox ) tomorrow.. Windows, I don't worry about, everything works ( ha! ), but I run BeOS also ( which I like and Matrox G400's and such are supported ).. Any clues and/or drivers are welcome! Thanks!
