Rod, I think you may have invalid mode lines. The most standard dimensions you should have for a "regular" monitor are more along these lines: 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1400x1050 1600x1200 I realize this may not help your problem except that if you define your modeline incorrectly and say that you have only 1600x1024 when you should be saying 1600x1200, you can see that your screen might be missing something! Hope this helps.

The XF86Config file built by Red Hat no longer includes any explicit modelines, and there is no default entry for 1600x1024 resolution, so I pasted my old modeline into the Monitors section. Everything displays well except that the bottom half-inch of the screen is cut off. (It worked fine in 7.3. Why would it change?) Fiddling with the monitor controls shows that the signal really is cut off. I've tried monkeying around with the modeline using xvidtune, to no avail. But... When I use KDE's control center app, under Information -> X Server, I find a line saying "Dimensions 1600 x 1050 Pixel (484 x 310 mm)" which certainly suggests that somewhere in all this X machinery there is something telling the X server that I want resolution 1600x1050, not 1600x1024! Can anyone suggest a fix? I don't know where to go from here.
