zachwor Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) Hi, long time reader, first time poster. Thanks to your great topics on installing the Nvidia driver I've had no trouble installing the driver. However once using the driver, the screen shifts down a couple of pixels cutting off the bottom of menu bar. I'm unable to see parts of the date and the full name of the menu button. I'm using Mandrake 2005LE with the 2.6.11-6mdk kernel. Returning the driver back to the standard vesa driver corrects the problem and my screen is properly positioned. If anyone can help with this problem or point me towards a previous topic it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Gul Dukat Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Can't you correct this problem with the OSD of your monitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachwor Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Can't you correct this problem with the OSD of your monitor? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes this is true, although I was hoping to avoid having to adjust in Windows whenever I logged in after using Mandrake.

AussieJohn Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 This difference between Windows screen position and the Linux position occurs when you use different screen frequencys, e.g. 75hz in windows and 70 or 65 or 60 hz in Linux. Try to set up with both OSs using the same screen frequency then you can reposition the sceen to a position that suits both OSs. Cheers. John.

ianw1974 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I'd never thought of that :P Now I know why one of my dual boots does it. Until now it was only a minor shift to the right, so I kind of lived with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
