Problem with video in the new kernel.

Hi,
I just compiled a new kernel 2.6.25.4.
It seemed to boot fine.
However my desk top is smaller with a black border all around the desktop like a picture frame.

I am not sure what I did wrong.

I have nvidia video on a dell 5150.

Thanks okos

you probably need to rebuild the nvidia drivers too... nvidia-glx-config I think does the trick
