I have a PC with a STB Velocity 128 (4mb) and a nice 17-inch monitor.
Just installed Redhat 5.2. When I "startx" the display is shifted to
the right, but is usable. I have a LED on my monitor which lights
when it's not in one of it's 20 or so predefined modes, and it lights
whenever I start X. I've been through xconf several times and tried
different settings because the shifted display bugs me.

Any advice would be welcome...

try xvidtune as root. When you get the desired position, hit the 'show'
button.

Hi Mark,

there are to ways to fix the problem:

1. Use xvidtune to fit the display to your monitor. But be careful with
the setting not to crash your monitor.

2. Change the monitor settings to center the display on the monitor.
Because its not a predefined mode, it shouldnt change any of the other
modes used in windoze etc

Hope that helped

I used the monitor controls (NEC Multisync X17+) to fit the screen nicely
in X. When I run win95, the screen is shifted down and to the left by at
least half an inch. Not a big enough bother to readjust, but it's
annoying...
