> I have an LG widescreen monitor, which until now I have not been able to have display its native resolution properly - ie 1680x1050 at 60hz.

Bill,

I'm running Mint on my laptop at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with an NVidia, you don't say what chipset you are using. Here are the appropriate lines from my xorg.conf. I suspect that you need to get the right Horizsync and Vertrefresh values for you monitor to force X to drive it at the correct frequencies which should then get the image in range for the monitor controls to centre. Though I suspect that if you pinch the ones I'm using from below you might get lucky.
