Q: How can I center image of desktop on PowerPC G4?
I recently bought an HP Pavilion 25xi flat panel monitor to replace an old Lacie CRT monitor. I am using it with both a MacPro (2007) running Mac OS 10.6.8 and a PowerPC G4 running Mac OS 10.2.8. The monitor works well with the MacPro, but when it is used with the PowerPC G4, the image is offset to the right by about 1.5 inches. The maximum horizontal adjustment only moves the image ~0.25 inches to the left. This results in truncation of a portion of the desktop on the right side of the display. There does not appear to be any way to center the image. I have contacted HP and tried all of their suggestions without any success. The HP person I spoke to ran out of ideas for adjustments on the 25xi and suggested that there might be some control within the G4 that would allow the image to be centered. Has anyone had this problem? Are there any suggestions for how to center the image. Note that when the G4 was used with the Lacie monitor, the image was centered.
Mac OS X (10.2.x)
