Created attachment 334008 [details] My screen Description of problem: I've got a Nvidia Geforce FX5200 video card. Since I tried live CDs I always had that the desktop is moved compared to the visible screen, so in the left edge of the screen I have a black band of about 16px and in the right one I can't see what's there. You can see it in the attached photo. I have a screen resolution of 1024x768. The problem is solved when I install the official drivers, which is impossible in the LiveCD mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nv-2.1.12-7.fc11.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always. Additional info: Also had this problem with Fedora 10 beta and Ubuntu 7.04 live CDs.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. When the LiveCD crashes, please, switch to the console (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and cp /tmp/X* and/or (if it exists) /var/log/Xorg.*.log files to some other place -- USB stick, some other computer via network, some on the Internet, and please attach it to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
After you've completed the install, can you run a full update and see if the issue still occurs? Fedora has switched to the nouveau driver for NVIDIA GPUs, but that change didn't make it in time for the alpha LiveCD.
No, there's a misunderstanding: the LiveCD doesn't crash! It works for me, but, I repeat, the visible area is moved compared to the screen so I can't move the mouse arrow to the left of the screen (the screen itself doesn't reach it) and I can move it out of the right of the screen, but I don't know where it goes (D'you see? In the image I can't see the clock and the trash icon. In the same way I have a black band on the left). I'm going to attach the Xorg.0.log file, the other doesn't exist. About the updates, unfortunately I haven't enough free space in my computer to install Fedora. All I can do is rebooting Gnome. Anyway I tried to update the system, I couldn't because yum hasn't found the needed packages. Moreover, I posted this bug here because I'm new to Bugzilla, but now that I know how it works I was wondering if it was better to move upstream this issue, since I had this problem also with other Linux distributions.

I'm waiting for the the beta LiveCD to try the new drivers.
Done...! But I still have the issue with the new drivers (if you put them in the beta freeze, of course).
Can you post an updated /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?
