I am dealing with a Gateway 6518GZ with a 1.7 GHz Pentium M Processor, 512 Mb of PC2700, Intel Extreme Graphics, running Windows XP, primarily.

The problem: 15.4" WXGA laptop LCD with an optimal resolution of 1280 x 800 has a black bar on the right side, and on the bottom the last pixel that shows (presumably #768) is repeated to the bottom of the panel. While running the CMOS utility or an OS (Windows or Linux) this black bar is present.

The maximum resolutions is 1024x 768, which is crisp and clear. The desktop ends at the edge of the black bar which would indicate that those aren't dead pixels. A monitor driver issue would, in my experience distort the width of the 1024 across the entire panel which is not happening, and I'm using factory settings.

Is anyone familiar with this type of issue>
