Hi

I have a strange display problem after upgrading from Sarge to Etch.
In X the screen is displaced 1 cm to the left (leftmost 1 cm of screen
is out of display area and there is an 1 cm wide black stripe at the
right edge of the display). This only happens with the native 1280x1024
resolution of the HP 1702 flat panel display. Lower resolutions work
correctly.

In Sarge I used vesa driver instead of i810, IIRC because the i810 driver
in Sarge didn't support this graphics controller(Intel 82915G/GV/910GL).
I tried using vesa driver now also, but it didn't change anything.

I tried a Knoppix 5.0.1 CD and it has the same problem with the X
configuration it probes(with vesa driver). Also the system is a dual
boot system and in Windows XP everything works fine, so I'd guess it is
not a hardware problem. Any ideas what is wrong?

I don't have the same monitor as you do, but I found that pushing the
button on my monitor that autosets the display will fix that.  Almost
all monitors made in the last few years have such a button.

My monitor does not have that, but the principle is the same, i did it manually.
