I recently upgraded the unstable xserver packages to 4.1.0-1. Now the margin has decreased to about 16 pixels (from around 64). I have not changed any config files. What is the +hsync +vsync -csync? I get the impression there is no place for them in an XF86Config-4 file... Are the colour modes tweaked also in XF86Config-4 or is it elsewhere? Thankyou for all your help, Bruce.
