Screen shifted left for Intel 13-530 clarkdale graphic unit and Acer AL2016W monitor
I have a new computer with an Intel DH55TC Motherboard and a i3-730
chip. The built-in GPU is called "Clarksdale". Attempts to install
the i386 Stable distribution failed because the installer could not find
the DVD reader. I was able to install the i386 Testing distribution. I
have an Acer AL2106W monitor with a length/width of 1.6. When I boot
the system, neither KDE nor the _console_ are centered on the monitor.
They are too large in the vertical direction by about 1/2 cm (1/3 in).
The display is shifted to the left by about 6 cm (2.5 in) so the left
part of the screen is invisible and there is a black area on the right.
The fonts are poor. I tried a smaller mode with a 1.6 ratio which also
failed. If I create a Xorg.conf with the largest mode being 1280x1024
instead of 1680x1050, X works but the screen is stretched. This does
not fix the console problem.
Google shows that many people have had X configuration problems with
this monitor. But I am also having the same problem with the console.
Since drivers are often in the kernel, I am writing to debian-kernel.
Have I found a bug? Anyone know how to solve my problem?
