Lars, do you have a windows monitor .INF file that came with this monitor? If so, can you upload it here?

Thanks,

I have only the CD that came with the monitor. Whether there is something related to garbage like Windows or not, I could not say. However, there is /cdrom/drivers/l222w.inf which may be what you are looking for. See attached.

Hello, i need some help please!

i have the same LG Flatron L222WS

problem ..image gets cut off to the left and right and ..as you said the "auto" function doesnt fix it ..so i hav to go to the nVidia Control panel and manually move the CRT screen position and them press Auto and he fixes it..until the next restart OR change the resolution to a lower one and then back to the one im talkin about "1680x1050"

i changed the graphic driver ..reinstalled the monitor ..same problem is there a fix? a patch a new driver? a better one or do these settings u talked about fix the problem? if so where can i find them so i can replace them ?

and one more thing ... if some one is kind enough to help me ...i attached a print scrn with an option that allows me to create my own resolution ..it has a lot of settings but i don t know whu goes where..maybe someone can help..

Thanks for your help! :(

I have a similar monitor and graphic card... Maybe trying my xorg.conf
file will help you...

Another useful tip might be to use the nvidia-settings program (Is that
the one you are talking about) But.... the settings you save will not
be automatically loaded on reboot...
For Ubuntu you need to goto Preferences>Sessions and add it in
somewhere. Add in like:

Name: nvidia-settings
Command: /usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only
Comment: Loads nvidia-settings at boot

Then any settings will be loaded at boot.

For Kubuntu create a script in /home/username/.kde/Autostart and make it
executable. Like:

$ nano /home/username/.kde/Autostart/nvidia-settings.sh

And in the editor type:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10 && /usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only

Then save it with CTRL-X

...and make it executable:

$ chmod a+x /home/username/.kde/Autostart/nvidia-settings.sh

A third way that will work for both the above and Xubuntu is to add it
to your .xinitrc file but it seems this file is not created by default...
