Peter, yes, thanks I found a way to stretch the viewable area to the sides of the screen (and toggle back and forth between the views), yet as you can imagine, this looks very awkward :-\ The problem is that (and forgive me as I forgot to mention it in my original message) it was working perfectly at 1024 x 768 prior to me upgrading XF86. Anymore suggestions? Thanks.
