[SOLVED] Screen/Resolution problem in Gnome/Xfce

Hello,

My default resolution on starting gnome or xfce is 1024x768. It looks fine and the fonts are definitely pleasant.

One problem: The screen is cut off from the left and right (two black bands on the sides), because of which I'm losing, say, 1/5th of the width (moreover, its irritating).

I'm able to change the resolution from within gnome/xfce to 1280x800 in which case the black bands on the sides disappear and gnome/xfce is using the full width. But now the fonts are not that good; not as smooth.

Is this some basic hardware recognition problem?

Faraz.

This is now solved. I changed xorg.conf to include 1280x768 along with other resolutions.  And then xfce/Appearance lets me set LCD, GRB, aliasing options.
