You may also try hitting the clrl alt and + keys at the same time. This will
change the resolution. I have always found this to work.

Kev:
I had the same problem with three IBM 300Gl machines using Trio 3D video
chipsets. I worked for days trying to get the xf86setup right. All I could get
was the expanded picture. Finally, I purchased some used video cards ($19.95)
with other chipsets. Everything worked fine then.

Kev,
I am a newbie to Linux also but it sounds to me like you need to change the
display configuration to less (may want to start all the way down to 640 X
480). If that isn't it then there may be some incompatibility with
the video board and the driver that is causing the problem.
Hope
