If that works, why don't you just use the resolution of the mode you're
running, or don't override the virtual resolution in the first place to
avoid scrolling at all?

Eh? It's only used as one of the modes for the internal LCD AFAICT.
XFree86 seems to use 1400x1050 as well on the CRT.

AFAIK this mode is geared towards some wide screen LCD panels, it may
just not be suitable for CRTs.

If you agree that this is purely a configuration issue and no bug in the
xserver-xorg package, please close the bug by following up to
