Hey,

      I'm working on getting my FreeBSD installation totally up and going.  So
far, I've got one last major thing to fix and then I'd say its pretty much
perfect :-).  When I do a startx (I'm using gnome if that matters)  Everything
comes up ok except that the screen is somewhere between half an inch to a
quarter of an inch off to the right side.  I went and did the xfree86 -configure
as per the handbook to get it up and going.  I don't know if this matters but
I've got a GeForce3 Ti200 and a Dell E550 monitor.  I asked on questions and all
I got was experiment with xvidtune.  Can anyone give me any pointers?

Thanks
Edward Germain
