I don't know where to make the adjustments you've suggested- I've posted my monitor's specs and my xorg.conf below, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Here are the specs of my monitor: http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProductInformation-Start?CategoryName=cpu_Refurbished_Displays&ProductSKU=SDMHS53%2fBT%2fBSTOCK&TabName=specs&var2= Here is the relevant part of xorg.conf Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "LCD Panel 1024x768" DisplaySize 300 230 HorizSync 28 - 61 VertRefresh 48 - 75 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nv" VendorName "Videocard vendor" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX (generic)" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "DRI" Group 0 Mode 0666 EndSection Bryan J.
