I have a new wide screen LCD monitor and it works fine. However, the extra width just means my display is stretched out.
I want more workable space. How do I go about tackling that?
It is a Samsung SyncMaster 920NW monitor and I am using the Fedora 8 distribution.

I need more help!
I buggered up my xorg.conf settings and now the display just freezes. Luckily, I save my last working settings as a xorg.conf.backup file but I have trouble accessing it. I just want to switch my file back.
I am using a PCLinuxOS live cd logged in as root to access my computer but I can not locate my computer's /etc/X11/ directory. It seems like all I get are links to etc/ directory of the PCLinuxOS live installation.
What might I be doing wrong? or what might be preventing me from accessing it?
My hard-drive installation uses logical volumes.

Thanks a lot! That did it.
[i guess I should be learning to do more in text mode, right?]
