I have a monitor that confuses the graphics drivers. When Debian (12
or 13) starts, the display is shifted about three inches to the right
— both in text mode while things are starting, and later when either
sddm or gdm3 runs.
I suspect this is a problem with the monitor. Can you use the monitor's
firmware to slide the display to the left?
What make and model is the monitor? Perhaps others with the same or
similar will have suggestions.
AOC L22W898, started its career as a TV, but its 1680x1050 SVGA port was much nicer than the antique HP 1024x768 that it replaced. The HP died and went to e-waste heaven, else I could connect it to the second port on my antique NVidia FX 1300 and push the little "gear" icon in the bottom right corner.
