ATI X1300 Pro 256mb right margin cut off

[ringo]

I got the above video card with my Dell so I could hook 2 monitors to it.

The monitors are both LCD Samsungs. One is the 512N(15 inches) and the
other 912N(19 inches). I bought them the same week.

When I plug the primary monitor(912N) into the DVI plug I lose about 1
inch of display on the right margin. It looks like I compressed the
desktop and moved it to the left.

When I plug this monitor into the VGA port it's fine.

When I plug the 512N into either port it's fine.

So I am using it with the 912N in the VGA port which is not causing any
problems but thinking ahead if I get a bigger monitor, say 22 inch, to
replace the 15 inch one, I don't want to than have this problem with both
monitors.

Any insight??

Thanks

Don't know if this will help but I have the same card and noticed either output
will be the primary without swapping after its started once with the other two
disconnected.
