Don't know if this will help but I have an 8200 Tecra with a Trident
chipset on board. I had to add the following line to the device sectino of
the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to cure this problem:

Option "Display1400"

Hi All

I have just got a new Toshiba 6100 laptop with an Nvidia GeForce4 420 Go
graphics adapter installed and a Tosh 15 XGA TFT Screen. The adapter is
supported by Nvidias own driver which appears to load correctly but
there is one problem:

No matter what I tinker with, the display has a large right hand border
and has truncated the display.

OS is Mandrake 8.2 - Kernel 2.4.18-1mkdsmp i686

XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Protocol Version 11, rev 0, vendor release 6600)
dated 23 january 2002

NVidia drivers are 1.0-2880 installed from source tarball

The problem occurs no matter what resolution I try but I am attempting
to get the 1024x768 at 24bit working fully.

Any helpfull suggestions will be greatly appreciated :-)

Regards
