I've got a Dell Inspiron 2500 with Red Hat 9.0 using the built in GUI and I
got all the rpms for the newest versions of all things ogle-involved
installed without a hitch and everything works mostly alright.  I've got
sound and video, but the video is weirdly skewed.  It's an Intel 815e laptop
monitor.  What happens is that there's a big blue bar down the middle, and
the video is wrapped weirdly so what should be on the left side is on the
right and the right side is on the left.  It does all the right scaling and
things, and it doesn't go slow or display weird lines or anything like that,
it just has that weird wrapping problem.  Is there a way to tell it to start
drawing the video from a different part so it fits in the frame?  I am
hesitant to do ANYTHING to mess with my XFree86 file; I tried updating it
once to the newest stable build and it ended up just destroying everything.
It corrupted the main file and also corrupted the backup file, so I had to
end up reformatting the computer, and I'd rather not have to do that again
because I've already put so much work into this one configuring support for
all sorts of other useful things.  I tried using xine, also, but that will
load up, sit for a few seconds, and then reset the computer.  Since I get
much more stability out of Ogle, if there's any way at all to tweak it
without being too invasive, I'd be all for it.

any help at all would be much loved.
