I've had this problem with every one of my NEC 3V's. Was it like this from the beginning or did this start recently? > My monitor has started to act funny.

The X thing may be solved by using a generic monitor instead of specifying one. Or find a resolution that works. With my 3V the screen would shift on different resolutions but at 1024x768 it was fine. Then if I res'd down it would scrunch everything into the center of the screen for some reason. It sucked big time. I changed the monitor (via Xconfigurator) to a generic 1024x768 SVGA and everything works great now. This also worked for win98. I would play with the X settings for a while. As long as the shift is only in the post then there shouldn't be any problems with actually using the machine. I don't know what the problem is but mine does the same thing. sim
