Thanks Balakrishnan for your response. I already edited xfconfig86 with
no success, I still have about 2cm wide black stripe along the two parts
of my monitor... I am new to debian and naturally to Ubuntu Warty and
don't know how to run dpkg-reconfigure. I suppose I need to do a lot of
reading. Anything I shall do with editing XF86config-4? For your
information here beneath a copy of that file.

For any resolution over 1152x768, I do have those two black stripes. Anything I need to do?

Thanks for assisting
