monitor problem

Okay so the buttons to resize my screen have been broken on my monitor for years, and last night i was sticking a paper clip in between two of the buttons when the screen suddenly resized, and now it sucks really bad!. it's only about 8-10 inches wide and really tall and off the screen. Is there any possible way to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated.

first, are you sure the evil paperclip was isolated? if not you may have messed up something at the adjustment button.
it is possible to adjust such thing via a modeline in your XF86Config-4 but that highly depend on your monitor and won't help if it's to worse. try xvidtune inside XFree to get those modelines.

well thanks for trying to help anyway. i just bought a new one instead, since the one i was using was around 4 years old and the buttons on it WERE broken so... yeah =)
