I am a scientist working in CSIR-CSMCRI India, India and trying to switch to kubuntu (11.04 amd 64) on my office as well as home desktop. The trouble is currently at home desktop where I used my 19 inch LCD TV (Samsung) as monitor. The trouble is that with the default high resolution setting of (close to 1440 x 900 for aspect ratio of 16:9: can’t remember exactly), screen is displaced by few cm towards left side. Another mode of 4:3 aspect ratio allow proper display of the screen. I was not allowed to displace the screen by the krandr system settings.
Another piece of information is that even xp with drivers from asus motherboard had the same problem and some horizontal displacement of display was needed for correction.

I was confused about where and how to report the matter. I hope it as a platform for discussion.

Have you checked that the connection between your computer and monitor?

Thanks for your reply. Can you elaborate it further or explain/state it in another way? After some googling, I guess you are asking about VGA/DVI/HDMI thing. Currently I am using the old technology of 16/24 male female joints and my gut feeling says that it is VGA. Other port labelled HDMI/DVI is left unused and appears to be a USB type connection.

The exact value of the default (and good) display resolution is 1360X768. TV connection seems to be a problem with these type of hardware.A link from another forum is pasted below. I apologise if it is going over the top.

Kubuntu and kde is otherwise rocking in the computer. The other setting of 1024X768 is working perfectly OK. I feel at the time of evolution, this issue has a scope of better dealing.

In some LCDs may be necessary to set a proper xorg.conf indicating the 'modeline' for each resolution using the technical data found in your LCD manual. You can use the following link to generate lines "modeline" for different resolutions:

Or you can search about the 'gtf' command to generate the 'modeline'
