[SOLVED] Screen resolution issue

I've had an issue with screen resolution for awhile.  Basically, I have it set
correctly, but a small portion of the screen is cut off on the right-hand side
of the screen.  When using just the CLI, it's about a character that gets cut
off, In X (regardless of DE) it's about half the width of a toolbar.  It's not
that big a deal, but it's really starting to bother me.  I know I have the
resolution set correctly (1680x1050).  The monitor is a LG Flatron W2252TQ.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the controls on your monitor to adjust the positioning? One mine, it sometimes autodetects wrong and I need to correct it.

Wow, that was the simplest fix ever. I can't believe I didn't think of that.  All it took was one button press.

I sometimes have to use the Autoconfiguration button on my LCD because of similar issues. It takes only a second and is automagic.
