Bottom half of the screen? eh.. Do you mean this as a hardware error, or
as a logic error (ie: is half the CRT there?! or won't the computer
display on the bottom half).

You could probably setup X with a few hacks to change the desktop size to
only the top half, so you'll have full functionality (but you'll lack in
desktop space).

Anyhow about the problem.. I'd suggest you go and read the X-Terminal
(mini?) HOWTO and see how you go with that. It contains valuable
information that I won't repeat.

 Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies
 the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry
 penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more
 careful about what they say if they had.
