X shifts monitor settings
I have been using linux off and on for a few months now. Distros like Libranet and Mepis, that set everything up for you. I have decided to go with Slackware so that I can really learn the OS.
When I installed 9.1, LILO failed to install. I edited lilo.conf and got it working. Now the console displays a much smaller font, like 1024x768 resolution (is this due to framebuffer? I didn't quite get what that is). The only problem with it is the first character on the left is off the screen and I must adjust the monitor settings to see the beginning of each line.
Then when I go to X, the screen is shifted a half inch to the right. I need to autosync the monitor to put the display back in place.
Are these 2 issues or one and the same? The monitor is a Viewsonic VG150.
Thanks for any help.
