Parse error on line 44 of section Monitor in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "Panning" is not a valid keyword in this section. nope - no workee - it's an X killer, and in the man page for xorg.conf on Fedora-11-Beta (x-server 1.6), there is absolutely no mention of Panning at all. FWIW - you should be able to make 'panning' work via xrandr on your Asus with what I gave you above (adjust for the name of your display) and I suppose I could probably add the panning command to a startup script after login but it seems neater/cleaner/ and an end to the regression that I could accomplish so easily on Fedora Core 4.
