The drivers from Nvidia and from the open source community use slightly different settings for screen position. Yes, it's annoying. I'm sure that could be changed with ModeLines in xorg.conf, but that wouldn't help for KMS. Maybe the developers of the open source drivers only use DVI and don't care, or they don't use Windows and never noticed the problem. > By running my screen with kmod-nvidia-173xx from rpmfusion, I get rid > from these problems. Sure, then you use Nvidia's driver with both operating systems. They use the same settings for screen position of course. Nvidia's downloadable driver for Windows allows you to shift the screen. That's the easiest solution of you use this drivers.
Hi Andreas, thx for this hint: I'll install the most recent Nvidia driver in XP and check that together with the F12 nouveau driver. Regards Joachim Backes
If you use the Nvidia driver that comes with Windows then I don't know if it's possible to modify the screen position. Greetings, Andreas
