Just wanted to confirm you got my file which I sent to you yesterday afternoon. Also: If, having looked at it, things seem hopeless, I do have a Radeon HD 4xxx which doesn't have the overscan problem. I can live without wobbly windows. But, unfortunately, attempts to use xrandr to rotate monitors (via gnome-display-properties as well as cli) fails rather spectacularly: the monitors get immediately and completely disabled until I log out. At this point, I don't care which card I use as long as it's not my current one with the very loud, moribund fan. :-) Thanks again for your help! --joanie
