[kwlug disc.] Flatpanels, the new tie

[Insurance Squared Inc.]

So I got a 22" wide LCD panel for Father's day.  Plugged 'er in and 
changed my settings, but I'm getting a couple odd problems.

I'm running mandriva and have both my screen resolution and the monitor 
resolution set to 1600X1050.  The graphics card shown is the correct one.

Here's what's happening.  The moniter seems smaller than the desktop.  
By this I mean that when I move my mouse to the right, the entire 
desktop shifts left.  Same goes for top and bottom.  I can shift my view 
like a magnifying glass over top of a larger desktop.  It's a bit 
disconcerting though it's clearly supposed to work that way based on my 
settings. How do I set this up so that both my monitor and desktop are 
the same size?

Second problem (maybe resolved by the first one?) is that if I move the 
mouse off the desktop on the right too fast, I get a blank blue screen.  
If I move the mouse to the left again, my desktop is restored.  Moving 
the mouse slow doesn't create this behavior.

Thoughts?
