Hi list. I tried to look in Google for the solution but found out I don't even know how to frame my question in a manner that Google would understand.
In MS-Windows, in the manufacturer's graphic drivers I usually have the option of changing the location and/or size of the displayed image on the monitor: kind of like the skew buttons on the monitor but in software. I remember X having the same capability using some command line tool, but I couldn't find it or figure out how to make it work. The problem I have (just in case any one has a creative solution) is that I have two computer connected through a small KVM to a single screen. While both graphic adapters use the same refresh rate and resolution (its a flat panel display so I don't have much choice anyway), the view is shifted by about 10 pixels to the right or left between the two display signals the computers send to the screen. When I use the "autodetect" feature of the monitor, it aligns the active view perfectly - which then is shifted by about 10 pixels when I switch to the other computer. one of the computers dual boots to windows, and in windows I just used the above described driver properties to adjust the screen to match the position the other computer displays, but when I boot to linux (which is what I do most of the time) the position is again not correct. -- Oded ::..
