Re: Screen wrapping

Hello

This seems more of a X issue, then gnome's. Mail me
"/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file.

Hi, all,

Newbie here.

I'm using Fedora Core 7 i386 and Gnome 2.18.3 as a
visual environment. I've got a problem with screen
wrap: about 1/8" of the left-hand edge of the display
shows up on the right side of the screen, as though
it's wrapped around.

I know this is not the monitor's fault, as then entire
screen image, including the wrapped portion, moves
when I adjust the image location through the monitor.

It's likely not the card's fault either, as I don't
see any indication of the wrap while the machine is
booting up, on the bios display or the Fedora bootup
screen (I'll double-check this, though).

That leaves the visual environment. It looks to me as
though there's a few hundred bits chopped off the
beginning of the raster scan when it paints the screen
image, resulting in the entire image being out of
phase by that many pixels; this would result in an
image like what I'm seeing.

Another artifact of the problem is that the mouse
pointer is a few pixels off where the system thinks it
is, so I have to click to the right of a radio box to
get that box checked, whereas if I click on the box, I
miss it.

Does anybody have the slightest idea whether this
condition is adjustable, configurable, or fixable?

Help!

Thanks.

Fedora is the best of what works today. Enterprise Linux is the best of
what will work consistently for the next seven years.
