First of all, hi to everyone, just installed Mint and so far liking it.
I just have one strange problem. I have a ViewSonic VG1921vw and would like to use the native 1440x900 resolution. I have setup my xorg.conf to use the resolution. and Mint correctly uses it, but when it does, the image gets all srambled. Colors don't show correctly, all the menus leave 'shadows' when opened, etc.![Viewsonic monitor drivers for mac Viewsonic monitor drivers for mac](/uploads/1/2/5/2/125207767/237508634.php)
The strange thing is, that the cursor isn't effected, and neither is the splash green (or whatever that thing is called that comes after logging in, when Gnome is starting up). And, if I change my resolution to anything else, then back to 1440x900 it works without a problem.
I have an Ati Radeon 9250, so I can't test if changing the driver to fglrx helps, since it isn't supported anymore.
Here is my xorg.conf

I am struggeling now for almost half a year with my graphic-configuration ( ViewSonic VX2835wm, nvidia GeForce GTS 450).On a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 with the proprietary nvidia driver Version 331.38 (the nouveau driver doesn't serve any better) the edges of my screen are cut (overscan). When I used Ubuntu 12.04 I could fix this problem. Android Tablet Forum. Lets talk about Ubuntu on Viewsonic 10:) How To's, Tips, Issues, Solutions. But you already are compiling the touchscreen drivers too.
