[testing] xorg and modelines question

Hi!
I have a problem with aligning display on my PC. I hav currently 3
systems instaled : windows, debian 3.1 and 4.0 recenly came be. I set up
a display under windows by monitor menu becouse under linux it can be
done by software and under windows it can't. Under 3.1 I've generated a
modeline with xvidtue and placed it in XF86Config-4 in the monitor
section. It worked just fine. Under 4.0 on the oter hand it doesn't. I
generate a modeline with xvidtune but when I restart X with a modeline
added to xorg.conf the display is shifted. Modeline it self does
something becouse when I comment it out the shift is different but it
doesn't do as xvidtune shows it should.

Any suggestions?
Regards
Jakub Narojczyk

Should be the same

Modelines should show the same results on both systems but check if you found any other differentis in the config files. Drivers for example.
