Laptop Display Problem

[bumbee]

I have just installed Red Hat 5.2 on my Kapok 5200 laptop. It uses the Cirrus Logic Video card (GD CL-7543) with 2M when I run X everything works but the screen is shifted to the right about an inch or so. I have tried to change the CMOS settings and the resolution settings but nothing helps. Does anybody have any suggestions.

Any help would be very apperciated.

Did you set it up with the proper type of display? Should choose a lcd panel of x resolution, where x is the default resolution of your screen.

First, read the man page on xvidtune (so you understand what it's doing). Then, run xvidtune and get it the way you want it. When you click <Show> it will print out the correct settings to use, just put that in your XF86Config file and you're golden.

You don't want to use xvidtune on an lcd panel. You want him to damage his lcd panel?

Every lcd panel has a set refresh rate. Just set it to the appropriate type of lcd panel and you should be all set.

:o *Embarrassed* Sorry, I totally did not see the word laptop in your post. Shad is right, you would want something like:


Section "Monitor"

Identifier "LCD 11.3"
VendorName "Kapok"
ModelName "5200"

HorizSync 31.5-40 <= use your vendor's provided rate

VertRefresh 50-70 <= use your vendor's provided rate
EndSection



This is actually from a Kapok 5400 laptop. Your refresh rates might be different. Try to find out the specs on your particular laptop and change the rates accordingly.

Again, sorry for the bad advice. Hope nothing bad happened because of it.
