Ive tried reconfigurating x multiple times and just cant seem to get 1024x768 to display properly. It works fine at 800x600, but at 1024x768 the display is shown as if I where using a 15 inch monitor.
What Im saying is that at 800x600 x is displayed using the whole surface of the monitor. In 1024x768 it only used about 15 inches (of 17) of the monitors surface to display X.
I tried cranking up the horizontal and vertical settings on the monitor to get a larger display area. The problem there is that I cant turn up the vertical any further than it alreay is, but there is plenty more space to crank up the vertical.
Here is what is displayed ffor my monitor in Xconfig:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "NEC MultiSync A700"
DisplaySize 320 240
HorizSync 31.0 - 69.0

Option "dpms"
EndSection
basicly what the problem is:
at 1024x768 the 17 inch monitor displays at 15 inches without the ability to physically adjust it with the monitors display buttons.
Im not really worried anout getting the latest and gretest drivers for the gforce card sincer I dont really do much gaming, i jsut wanna get the monitor working.
