picture not shown properly in WM. (squeezed partly off the screen)
 
I've just installed Gentoo. I've installed X.org and configured xorg.conf. When I launch fluxbox (or any other WM) the picture's "moved" to the right leaving a black gap between the the monitor's left side and the picture, the far right of the picture is "moved" outside of the monitor.

How can this be fixed?

here's my xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

    Load        "dbe"  # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
    SubSection  "extmod"
      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"  # don't initialise the DGA extension
    EndSubSection

Using the buttons on the monitor to adjust size/position...

Alternatively you can try to play with the settings for
the horizontal/vertical refresh. You may find xvidtune
helpful.


Cheers,

If you are using an LCD screen then it will probably have a button on the front that you press to auto-adjust the monitor.
