The first time I logged in after installing F8, the background picture covered the entire screen but the top menu bar and bottom task bar only extended about 2/3 the width of the screen and the bottom task bar was not at the bottom of the screen but about 1/2 the way up.

After playing with the screen resolutions, I have 1152x864@60Hz and the bars extend all the way across the screen and the task bar is at the bottom.

I have 2 problems:
1) The 1st 1/2 inch of the screen is missing of the left side which, for some reason is really bugging me.
2) The resolution I really want is 1280x1024@75Hz. This is a dual boot machine at 1280x1024@75Hz is what I use in Windows

Can anyone give me some ideas as to why I can't get my desired resolution?

I've got sort of the same problem with the Xorg version as shipped with Fedora 8. Seems to be related to a lot of changes to the Xorg radeon r300 driver.

Can you post the output of "xrandr" to check there's no second monitor detected?

It's documented (including a workaround) on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=389291

Still, it's also a Gnome desktop problem since the menu bars on the first monitor seem to get the locations for a random resolution on a non-existent monitor :|
