Hello every one:
I having a little problem and I need an expert to help.
I have 2 PC's running windows and Linux (Fedora 6). I use a KVM to
switch back and forth. I can adjust the screen position to suit one of
the PCs, but when I switch to the another one, I found an off set close
to an inch. I find it very inconvenient to keep on adjusting my
monitor for the PC I am working on. Therefore I decided to play a bit
with Xorg and shift the coordinates of the display on Linux, since
Windows will never let me do this. Unfortunately, no luck.
I tried changing the parameters to the screen section in the
serverLayout, then I tried to change the viewport, but nothing worked.
Here's what I did:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 120 0
Depth 24
Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800"
"1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
#########################################
then I did this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" absolute 120 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
###########################
nothing worked.
Any idea ?
