hi, i'm still working on this problem where i have this narrow strip on the left-most edge of my monitor which shows what is actually about 4 inches from the left side of the display. i wanted to run my XF86Config-4 file past you folks. it looks ok to me, but what do i know. does anyone see anything here that is evidently wrong?? the hardware stuff seems ok i do have an SiS 620 i also have 4M video ram, tho i don't see that specified. do i need to add a line for that? thank you much for you input ---------------------------- # File generated by XFdrake. # ********************************************************************** # Refer to the XF86Config(4/5) man page for details about the format of # this file. # ********************************************************************** Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.
