I've been having a frustrating problem with Linux and my video hardware. Namely, the video has giant "margins" on both sides of the display area -- between 2-3 cm. It's not so severe at the top and bottom. I don't think this is an X problem, because it seems that the video has the same problems at the console. It looks ok under Windows (of course).
I upgraded to testing (Woody) from Progeny, but the problem remains. Also, the SuSE "Live-eval" shows the same problem. I'm using kernel 2.4. Anyone here have ideas for me? Frank
