ive got this graphics card (SIS6326) and i have a big problem with setting
the resolution and size of the screen. im working with XF86Config file and
im trying to put those modes, but i always get too big screen for my
monitor. i dont have any virtula lines in the file.. but i just dont know
how to properly set those settings in Screeen Section.

the card has 4 megs of ram, monitor specs are: H-frequency 30 - 70kHz,
V-frequency 50 - 110Hz.
im using 1024x768 at 85Hz refresh rate unred windoze, and i would like to
run that under potato as well...
i used -bpp 16 option in the Xservers file (i still have xdm by the way, but
its a different problem...)

once when i used bpp 24 i could set the resolution and size i wanted but the
right part of the screen was like scrambled or so, of green color, and
duplicated image of the desktop. so i changed to bpp 16 but now i have no
idea how to fix it.

and one more thing. ive read somewhere that every time i change XF86Config
file (placed in /etc/X11) i should copy it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 for the
changes to take effenct. and i noticed that if i dont copy it there - i got
same stuff..
is it right?? because i taked over that problem with some people and they
told me that they didnt have to do it..

well enough..

If anyone similar to this problem could help me, please?
i bow to the masters of linux..
