Sorry about the lack of details:
Ubuntu 6.06
Video card: Nvidia Riva TNT2
GUI: X
Monitor: Dell 21" LCD
My questions is: where should I start looking on how to fix this? I
see that when I run X, it only takes up about 3/4 of the screen, with
this 2 inch black unused space around it. I'm not sure where to start
and how to change it.
Ok first things, have you installed the nvidia driver ?
Gui isn't X it's gnome, kde, xfce etc..If it's gnome open synaptic and look
for nvidia with the search option, install the one that is the same number
as the kernel you are running and is for your card..it will show in the
dialog. This sort of behaviour is usually either video card not set up
correctly or a wrong refresh rate for the monitor. I don't use an LCD
monitor, so any further help needed I'll leave to others who use them.
