I've seen this addressed here before, but not in any way that has been helpful to me.
I recently installed gOS 2 beta for testing purposes (I normally use Ubuntu Hardy 8.04a3), which appears to be based off of Ubuntu 7.10. I have an ATI Radeon 7500 card and LG 194WT widescreen LCD display, native resolution 1440 x 900, which works excellently in Ubuntu Hardy. In gOS, however, it seems to produce a "squished" image with black bars on both sides. I say "squished" because the screenshots I've taken of my desktop turn out to be 1440 x 900 PNG files and the monitor reports getting 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz; however, both sides of the screen have pure black (more on the left than the right). Also, the gOS Set Resolution dialog shows i t being at 1440 x 900.
This is my xorg.conf file:

Copying my Ubuntu Hardy xorg.conf file results in X not starting up, so I have to use the one above for now. Any solutions?
