I'm not even sure what terms to search on, so I'm creating a new thread.
I just installed Ubuntu on an emachines pc about thrity minutes ago. When I put the installation disk in, the screen was off center, to the left. Roughly the left one inch (2.54 cm) was not visible. On the right side of the screen, the rightmost inch (2.54 cm) was black. It looked like I just needed to drag everything to the right about an inch.
I hoped that this situation would correct itself after the install was complete. It did not correct itself.
I played around with the display settings. I decreased the resolution from 800x600 to the next resolution down, 640x480?. At the lower resolution, everything is centered, but now all of the screens appear to hang below the monitor. As an example, I cannot change the monitor resolution back to the highest setting (800x600), because the bottom of the screen is below the bottom of the monitor. I cannot see the 'apply' button.
Any ideas what to do about this? The monitor is a 17 inch flat panel monitor that is probably six years old.
Thanks In Advance,
Bob
