   I have installed v2.2.5 on a Toshiba Satellite 115CS, Chips and
Technologies 65545 1MB, passive matrix color. This is my first time
setting up XF86, so have mercy :)  

   When I run either xdm or startx, X11 comes up and operates normally,
except that approximately 1.5 inches of the right side of the screen are
not used (remain black). That is to say that all mouse movements and
screen actions work properly, but simply end at at this abnormal margin on
the right. When I scroll (mouse movement) to the right, when the mouse
pointer touches the right margin, the desktop scrolls as you would expect.

   Is there a way for me to regain this "unused real estate"?

   Thanks in advance,

-Jeff
