My Screen is too far to the right.
I have screen position issues. I have been up and down with thread posts talking about xvidtune and then editing the x86config file. I understand in theory. But I can't get a clear understanding of, after adjusting with xvidtune, what values and where do I edit the x86config file. All the the threads just act like you input the numbers after using the show command.
I want to go from:
"1600x1200" 229.50 1600 1664 1856 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
to:
"1600x1200" 229.50 1600 1680 1872 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
But I don't know where those numbers go in the file when I edit it. I basically want my screen a few ticks to the left and can't figure out how to save it there.
when I look at the X86Config file, I see to ModeLines for 768x576. Right now, I am running at 1600x1200. So I find that confusing. Should I just delete the one of the ModeLines and replace it with my new settings:
"1600x1200" 229.50 1600 1680 1872 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
Sorry. I'm just not getting what values to put where. This must be how my grandma feels when she calls tech support.

which distro do you have?
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

It's not that bad, but it is a completely alien concept until you have see it done. You simply add it to the "Monitor" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf like so
The monitor section is just for reference, use the one provided in your own xorg.xonf. Obviously this will need to be done using root.Code:Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor" VendorName "Some Vendor" ModelName "Nice Monitor Name" HorizSync 15.625 VertRefresh 50.0 Modeline "1600x1200" 229.50 1600 1680 1872 2160 1200 1201 1204 1250 +hsync +vsync
