Happy New Year!
I bought a new HP 2010i LCD monitor that is supposed to give me 1600x900
resolution at 60 Hz to replace a generic 19" C.R.T. monitor that did
1024x768. The machine has an ATI Radeon video card and I am using a
V.G.A. cable not H.D.M.I. I reconfigured my /etc/xorg.conf using Xorg
--configure. I was given the full screen at 1600x900 resolution at the
next reboot but then while trying to adjust some monitor settings such
as Power Saver and Sleep Timer the screen adjusted to the right and will
not center. Adjusting the horizontal control to '0' (full left?) will
not center the display.
Futzing around, I rebuilt the kernel with;
options X86BIOS # x86 real mode BIOS emulator, required by
atkbdc/dpms/vesa
device vga # VGA video card driver
device agp # support several AGP chipsets
device dpms # DPMS suspend & resume via VESA BIOS
among others. I include these because I believe they are the only
options and drivers that would affect video on this particular machine.

Using PCBSD 8.1 downloaded 10/28/2010
csup'd source and ports 12/31/2010
built KERNEL_123110 today and new world
I can get 1024x768 to fill the screen but the icons and text are
stretched weird. I also loaded 1280x1024 but on the next reboot the
screen shifted right again.

I do not have a clue what the commented out options above do yet so I
have left them that way. Thank You for any advice you might have.
