Xfree86 geometry on Compaq Armada M700 running SUSE 8.2
 

SUSE 8.2 when running X the desktop is offset about 1.5 inches up the screen.
I have read the The Hitchhiker's Guide to X386/XFree86 Video Timing and tried to make adjustments using sax2. I have also done a good amount of searching on Compaq Laptop setup and tried most of what I have come across, in terms of display, graphics card.
I have made adjustments directly in XFConfig based on M700 setting found at linux-on-laptops, no difference.
I was anticipating the XFine2 tool would be able to assist with this problem. However abseloutly nothing happens when I try to change the position with Xfine2.
The mouse geometry is correct which makes using the desktop pretty weird. I have tried different window mgrs with same results.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Hey, i had this same issue.
There is a "lcdsync" card option listed under the expert tab of the graphics card properties in sax2.
Just highlight the option and everthing should work out great.


Hope this help :)
