<tt>I think I'd have just edited the xorg config myself.<br>
Though I did go through a period where I used a resolution much bigger
then my screen and scrolled around.<br>
But that was with a much smaller screen. I'm rather chuffed with my
current 23" monitors.<br>

<pre wrap="">It was simply that CentOS couldn't reconcile my monitor pixel size and
my display size. It knew that the monitor was widescreen (1680 x 1050)
but wouldn't offer that as an available desktop size so I was forced to
use a slightly larger desktop size and scroll into the corners.
I didn't really put any effort into hacking about with the X settings
because Googling about linux/centos and widescreen monitors brought up a
1001 different solutions. I'm sure it would have been fixable eventually
after breaking X a few times but frankly, it should be fixable in the
GUI or automagically.

<pre wrap="">I'm curious, what wasn't supported correctly?
I would have thought setting the resolution and mayhaps playing with
your colour settings too, would be enough for most monitors? :-)
