[TriLUG] OT: Monitor/KVM problems

[Steven Blanchard]

I had similar problems on a dell flatpanel, when booting either win98 or 
redhat 7.2. It was a half inch horizonatal shift and clock problems, it 
seems to be the different ways that the operating systems talk to the 
monitor, don't ask me why... switching my linux box to the accelerated 
nvidia drivers cleared up the problem for me, though.
