X now occupies the entire width of the screen, but it's still "wrapping"
at the bottom. I've looked at the Linux on Laptops links for Digital
machines, and it looks like a lot of them had a C&T chipset. At least
one person noted that a bug in the C&T XFree driver meant the bottom of
the screen appeared "wrapped" to them as well. That individual reckoned
the (then unreleased) Xfree 4.2 would fix the problem. Appears not.
