 that some pixels are lacking on the right border=2Cit is noticeable lookin=
g to some widgets=2Csliders etc.=2CI tried to put the following lines in /e=
tc/gdm/Init/Default:
xrandr --newmode "1360x768_60.00"   84.75  1360 1432 1568 1776  768 771 781=

ode "1360x768_60.00"
when I do : #xrandr              I get at the final lines of output........=
....1360x768_60.00 (0x111)   84.0MHz      h: width  1360 start 1432 end 156=
