ATI video problem

[paul marwick]

I've been trying the new Dapper beta on a desktop system here. It uses 
an Ati Radeon 7500 video card. I have two problems with this, one of 
which seems to be unique to Dapper.

First problem is screen offset. This seems to apply to both Dapper and 
Hoary, though it is more pronounced in the Dapper beta. The screen is 
offset to the right, enough to make the logout button on the right hand 
side of the top bar disappear from the screen. This didn't happen with 
Hoary running on another system (using a Matrox G200). Can anyone tell 
me how to correct the offset (while I can adjust the screen, since I use 
multiple machines through a KVM, this means I have to adjust it back for 
everything else...).

The second problem seems to be specific to the Dapper beta. While it is 
selecting the correct resolution, it seems that it is not selecting the 
correct refresh rate. The screen looks as though it is running at much 
too low a refresh rate, and is very difficult to use for any length of 
time. This problem does not appear when running the live Hoary CD. I 
have tried the screen resolution item in preferences, but it does not 
seem to help at all. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be useful.

paul.
