Hi.

I would appriciate if you are willing to help me with a problem...

I run FreeBSD 2.1 with X-windows.  Whenever I start up windows I get a wrap
around line in the right side.  About 1/4 of an inch of the left side is
shown on the right side of the screen.  Everytime I put a windows against
the left side of the background 1/4 of an inch reapears on the right side.

I don't seem to be able to solve the problem and I would apprisiate any 
suggestions...

I have a #9 Motion 771 video card with 2mb of VRAM.  I use the accelerated
S3 server.  I have 16mb RAM and my monitor is a Dell VS17X (SAMSUNG, 
I think).  I don't know if you would need any more information, if you
do please let me know. 

My Email address is steniss@iamerica.net.

thanks......
