From your monitor's specs everything looks good to me but I have one question. From your specs I don't know if your DisplaySize of 300 230 is correct. I used the following command: $ xdpyinfo | grep dimensions dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (361x271 millimeters) My DisplaySize is 360 270. I calculate that the 360mm is about 14.1" and the 270mm is about 10.6". The viewing dimensions of my monitor is close to 14.1"x10.6". If I'm correct then your monitor's viewing dimensions should be about 11.8"x9.1" if the DisplaySize 300 230 is correct. I converted to inches by multiplying by 0.03937. Someone else would have to tell you how to make changes if that's necessary. I'm sure some expert will correct me if this is wrong! Try the following command: $ xdpyinfo -ext all
