Ok, I've seen a lot of questions about this, but not a lot of answers. I just finished reinstalling debian on my computer - seems I got a virus in windose and the mbr and primary partition got corrupted. Anyways, I went through xf86config to get the right driver and settings for display card/monitor. After working through some issues with getting my mouse configured correctly, my screen scrolls. When the resolution is set to anything higher than 640x480 I have to move hte mouse over to make the screen scroll to be able to see everything.

I'm running Debian Sarge. It's a AIT Radeon 7000 card, I'm using the radeon drive for x. I've got a Gateway Vivitron 17" monitor that I've found the h and v syncs and whatnot. I'm not new to this - like I said I just re-installed debian. I think I had this problem the first time around as well, but I was using a different display card, and these setps fixed it last time I thought.

Thanks for any help.

just to follow up with this, ctrl alt and + or - doesn't make a difference. That just scrolls through the resolution options, and I know how to change that. it only all fits o my monitory at 640x480.

Also, I've seen a lot of references to virtual deskops, but there's no such lines in the xf86config file.

Any ideas?

Doesn't anyone have any ideas about how to solve this?

This question is the Big-unknown in the llllinux worls, hmm?

It's not a common problem, well the lack of responses suggests that anyways... But the stuff at http://wiki.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes and http://accessibility.freestandards.o...50126-mag.html might be useful. I can't vouch for it yet though.
