Hi Peter

Thanks for the reply.

I was running Mint 2.2. Afer installing Mint 4 ( gnome Live CD version), 
installing restricted nvidia driver ( mx440 card) and adjusting 
monitors controls all is almost well ( desktop just a fraction too far 
right) and I get 1680x1050 at60hz .


Thanks again

Bill
 I have an LG widescreen monitor, which until now I have not been 
able to have display its native resolution properly - ie 1680x1050 at 
60hz.


Bill,

Hi Jeff

Thanks for the reply.

I have an nvidia card (mx440) in this PC. Tried comparing xorg.conf 
between Fedora 8 and Kubuntu/LinuxMint but it appears that Fedora 8 has 
a different method of using xorg.


As a result of email from Rev Rumble I eventually installed LinuxMint 4 
( gnome Livecd) - I had Mint 2.2 installed - and installed restricted 
nvidia drivers and after using monitor controls all is almost well ( 
desktop just a fraction too far right) and I get 1680x1050 at60hz .


Thanks again

Bill
