  Me again...
Thanks for the help but i have already tried the CTRL ALT +, it doesn't
change anything (except resolution of course). I'm trying to modify the
XF86Config. Right now i'm quite sure my video card is well declared (i know
all the settings and Superprobe gave me the same informations), maybe the
monitor is not exactly well declared. Eventhough if it's a monitor problem,
it doesn't explain why i've got these @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
characters instead of the standard characters ( abcd...) which is in fact
the main problem for instant. I don't really care if i have to move the
mouse to see my whole screen, but it's more embarrassing if i have to
reboot every time i quit xwindows.

  If anybody else has got an idea ...??
   
    Thanks 
        JY
