Quote:Thanks for being patient with me!  

Yes, I am using GRUB and I followed your instructions to run sytem-config-display as root from the command line. It had me configured to be using a CRT monitor. Therefore, I selected an LCD monitor and rebooted. However, my display seems to be the same: I still get a double image.

 

I do not know how to interpret the xorg.conf file but one things stands out as bizarre to me:

ModelName "KDS Visual Sensations VS-19SN"

Is incorrect. That is an old monitor that I used two years ago.

 

Here is the my new xorg.conf file after the reconfiguration:

Code:

Quote:Driver "i810" <-- You could also try using "vesa" as a driver temporarily. Only if other changes don't work.

Quote:Superb! That solved the problem! Furthermore, now I have a crystal clear display.

Quote:Backup the working xorg.conf and then you will be able to tweak the display (if it needs it) safe in the knowledge that you can always restore the backup if things get out of hand. What resolution are you running? 1280x1024?

Quote:I second this advice to backup your working xorg.conf and store it somewhere safe, in case you have problems later you can just copy the working one in place.

Quote:Glad it worked. I was going to suggest a piece of paper over one side of the screen, thereby blocking one of the images. [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif[/img]
