    using xvidtune

    I have recently reinstalled linux because I have changed most of my hardware and now I am having problems with my video card.
    I am dual-booting between windows 98 and Red Hat Linux 7.2 and my display is too far to the right, so I used xvidtune to change it, that works ok until I log out then it defaults back to the original location.
    How can I stop it doing this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Yuri.

    xvidtune will give you the mode lines you need to use when you click the "show" button. All you need to do is add this line to your XF86Config file.

    Under the "Screens" section, look for the line that lists your resolution. You need to add the mode lines to the end of it, like so:

    Code:
    Modes  "1280x1024" 110.00 1280 1328 1512 1712 1024 1025 1028 1054
    Now, just save the file and restart X.
