Dan,
I've tried all your suggestions, none worked. It seem that the "stable"
etch Debian distribution has Randr v1.1. So I upgraded to the Lenny
(testing) distro of Debian with Randr v1.2. But still, none of those
suggestions work... There has to be something out there to shift my X. The
screen looks great in 1024x768. But need shifting in 800x600 anf 640x480.
Any other ideas,,,...
