thanks Mark, for replying, but one question remains. If I could get the
computer to display the smaller version of normal output in the center of
the screen, would it still be able to reach 1024 by 768 resolution.
You see, I made a movie projector with an old overhead projector from
school and and lcd screen (nec 1530v) and this screen has an auto resizer
feature( which means that the screen automatically fits the video output to
its maximum suize. consequently, I have to use the xine (movie player)
window and manually match the screen size perfectly to the square patch of
light coming up through the lcd screen from the overhead projector. ( this
"window of opportunity" is 24 cm diagonally in the center of the lcd
screen). So If I could get the computer to display what would normally take
up the entire screen in this square (centered on the screen, sorry if I'm
redundent), my troubles would be over. ( I would just load xine and hit the
fullscreen button and watch the movie.
Can't wait to hear your reponse!
David

It depends on whether you're using an analog (VGA) or
digital (DVI) connection to the monitor. For analog, you
can adjust that through modeline timings. xvidtune can
help with that. For digital, it depends on the native
resolution of the panel and the capabilities of the graphics
driver. Some drivers support centering modes smaller than
the panel's native resolution.
