FreeBSD 6.0 beta 4
nvidia video card, LCD monitor.

I ran startx as root, then xorgcfg to configure ModeLine.

xorgcfg did write a ModeLine statement to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I then restarted 'startx' but there is no difference in the display. The 
desktop is shifted a little to the right.
With xorgcfg I can shift it back to the left. Why isn't the modeline 
recognized in xorg.conf?

thanks,
Bob
