From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: add a simple gui tool to center the screen of xfree in the monitor. windows and suse 8 have this feature: a window with four arrows to move the screen around. sometimes is useful, especially if you have to multiboot (when i install nvidia proprietary drivers, the screen appears shifted horizontally a little, and i have to manually adjust with the monitor commands, the when i boot windows the screen is shifter horizontally in the opposite direction...) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.na 2. 3. Additional info:
see bug #72803. IOt's the xvidtune/Modeline configuration that needs to be added to redhat-config-free86.
Closing. I just don't see this feature as being worth the investment. I want to keep the UI as simple as possible and this adds more complexity.
Amazing how most Windows drivers support this without too much complexity. Even xvidtune had a simple UI for the adjustments. Using the restults might not have been easy, but the UI was. I can try to get you a screen grab from a windows driver if need an example. I don't know enough about the programming side to do it, or I would. Currently people have to use the monitor controls to do this, which are often very complex. I have one that uses 4 seperate menus, H and V size are seperate and H and V position are also seperate. Newer monitors have fewer bottons, so you don't have enought for simple controls. Why? Because the video drivers support the functions. The monitors don't need a simple interface now.
