I am running Linux Debian Sarge distr.. When I installed it I had difficulty
knowing what to put down for my VIDEO CARD - as it is built in to the
motherboard. Everything turned out ok except for the display: it is almost
'square' on my 15" rectangular CRT....i.e.: there is ALOT of unused space on
the display. Can anyone tell me where to look & what to do to reconfigure my
display?
Many Thanks In Advance - NuB.

The is an application called Xvidtune. This installs as part of the Debian X
installation.

Xvidtune will allow you to make picture height, width and positional
adjustments.

start xvitune in a terminal
then you can "show" modelines
and then paste the modeline into your XF86Config

If you have X11 6.8.1 or 6.8.2 installed use xorgsetup and it will
determine your display to the highest it's ability, I am running
Slackware 10.1 but X11 is in all for the Distros for the XWindow
system.You may have a scroll mouse too, and if you have the settings
already set to use it, you will have to reset then after this. I was
running 1280x1024 and now 1400x1050 24bit color.
