Ever since Debian went to the "nouveau" video driver for Nvidia, I have not been able to adjust my horizontal screen position with xvidtune. The application runs, but when I try to reset the "HSyncStart" value I get an error dialog box that says, "Sorry: You have requested a mode-line that is not possible, or not supported by your hardware configuration."


This didn't happen with the old "nv" driver. *Does anyone know a fix other than reinstalling "nv"?

You were told some good tips about this same issue in your e-mail of June
17th. Did you try any of them? :-?

Dunno what are the "xvidtune" capabilities, but "xorg.conf" is still
usable and you can define there whatever settings you need to position
your monitor.

You can use "cvt" tool to calculate the modelines for your display.
