ATI Rage 128 help needed

[Steven Tomcavage]

Thanks to everyone who helped. I have the problem solved. 

I used xvidtune to position the screen where I wanted it,
then exported a modeline which I copied into my X
configuration. That fixed the problem.

Then, a little later I noticed that I was using different
video settings on the Linux and Mac OS sides. Once I set
these to both be the same and re-generated my X settings
with the xconfigurator program, I was problem free again!

So, there were two solutions - either do things the right
way or use xvidtune to fix-up the clunky way ;-)
