The two ways to correct the problem are by changing the display
parameters or twiddling the monitor settings for vertical size and
centering. Generally I prefer the former if it works. The program for
doing that is xvidtune; once you've gotten the right settings you then
need to transfer them to the XF86 configuration file.
What I haven't seen (but would like to see) is a discussion of the pros
and cons of the two methods of adjustment.
