Xorg has display area doesn't match screen

Trying to get xorg running, tried xorgconfig, X -configure, and hwd - each time it works, xorg runs, but the display starts 50 or so pixels higher than it should, and scrolls over the physical 'top' of the screen and on the bottom again - like an old video game.

What gives? It's going through a KVM, so I'm not sure if that's doing it.

Re: Xorg has display area doesn't match screen

you are probably trying to set a resolution higher than your monitor supports. Set the correct resolutions manually in xorg.conf. (Remember the first resolution listed is the default one)

Monitor is 1024x768 max, highest mode in xorg.conf is 1024x768 (under the 'Screen' section).  'Monitor' has a ton of different ModeLines generated by HWD, not sure about that.

I'm up and running now. Took some stuff from xorgconfig, a little bit from -configure, and a fraction from hwd, and I've got function. Thanks for trying to help.
