Screen setup



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

A friend has asked me to put Debian on his Sony Vaio. Things are going very 
well except for the monitor setup. I'm using the Debian Installer 
BusinessCard installer to put Sarge on (as it's about to become the stable 
version, this seems right for him.)

The problem is that the monitor detection is only getting a small square in 
the center of his screen for the display. Over half the screen is unused; 
it's a large blank margin around the actual display. I haven't reached the 
running of X yet, but I'm expecting it to be the same. I'm coming from a SuSE 
background. If I were using SuSE, I'd run either Yast or Sax and correct the 
configuration. As ashamed as I am to admit it, I don't have a clue how to 
address this without those tools.

Could someone point me in the right direction to correct this? Would really 
appreciate it.
