x going out of proprotion when monitor turned off

Whenever I turn my montior off, x goes out of proportion, and stretches and skews itself offscreen, does anyone know what might be causing this? Until now I have jsut put up with it, but it is really starting to annoy me, as I have to go into a virtual terminal and back each time.

You're not by chance using a KVM switch are you?

I don't have this problem on my ArchLinux system, but I am having the exact problem you're having on my PCLinuxOS system.

I'll do a little checking on my PCLOS system and see if I can figure it out, and let you know.

Is DDC enabled in your XOrg.conf?

Yep, the DDC module fixed mine.

I already had it in my Arch config, but forgot to put it into my PCLinuxOS config.

Re: x going out of proprotion when monitor turned off

look for the section called " Section "Module" " and then add the line Load "ddc" somewhere underneath.

You'll also need to restart the x-server for the module to become active or just reboot your machine.

ok, thanks, I had added Load "ddc" and restarted x, guess I need to reboot.
