I don't know about your notebook's video card. But I have seen this 
shoft to right, on systems with a NVidia graphic card. If you have a 
NVidia card, and that shift really bothers you, then you can use the 
proprietary nvidia driver, instead of the open source nv driver. 
Knoppix ships with the later.
