Re: monitor/screen issue

Hi,

I'm new to linux and when I installed linux, the text and the curser
was "below" the screen, about an inch virtually.

Adjust monitor, windows and linux treat some monitors differently, just
like dos and windows do.


I was wondering if this is something that I can fix in linux, could it
be a driver problem? or is this a problem with my monitor? The monitor
works good with a windows machine.


It's nice that it works well with windows, what distro have you installed,
changing screen resolutions, refresh rates etc differs a little from distor
to distro. A lot more information as to your distro, your monitor, your
video card and the gui you are attempting to use would allow others to help
you.
