[OmniBook] OB500: problems with video adjustments

I've installed Ubuntu 6.06 on my HP Omnibook 500. Everything seems to 
have autodetected OK, except that the X screen is positioned about 1 
millimetre too high on the laptop display. It's an ATI internal AGP 
graphics card. Ubuntu uses xorg 7.0.0

If I adjust the position using xvidtune, it can be adjusted to the right 
position.

I then generated a modeline, and put that in the monitor section of 
xorg.conf.

I can see my xorg.conf file getting loaded in the log file, but the 
defaults from the ATI module seem to be the ones getting loaded, and my 
modeline is being ignored.

Has anyone got any ideas that might help? I'm getting a little desperate.

Thanks,
M
