Vertical position problem - desktop extends off the top of the monitor

The vertical position is off on my display.  The desktop is shifted up, leaving a blue line at the bottom of the screen.  I tried adjusting the vertical position using the settings on the monitor itself and was able to get the desktop back into a useable position, but I can't adjust it to the point where it is centered exactly.  

Is there a setting in xorg.conf or somewhere else to adjust display positioning?  I'm using Mepis 6.0 b4.

Thanks

Can you repeat problem with Knoppix Live CD, Mandriva One, or Ubuntu Live! 6.0.6 ???

Thanks, gheist and Gns - I'll try running Kubuntu 6.06 from a CD and see what happens.  I tried Ubuntu before installing Mepis and the display was fine.  Maybe it's kde related, so trying Kubuntu might reveal something...  I'll let you know the results after trying this out.

I'll check the mode/refresh rates and try the "slim down" settings as well...

Thanks again!

It is not KDE related. This is related to rarely used Mepis distribution, shipped with 26 February 2003 (old) Xfree86 distribution, not intended to work with videocards newer than that.
