I bet that it is the refresh rate the new Xorg driver is using is causing the monitor to show things in a different position. Most monitors will tell you the current refresh rate if you go to the menu or change contrast/brightness. On the v3 clients it could be 60Hz, and the v4.2 clients it may be something like 75Hz. XFree/Xorg will generally use the highest possible vertical refresh rate available for that monitor/resolution combination. For LCDs there is no reason to go above 60Hz, if I'm not mistaken, because there is no real electron gun scanning the image. I thought where was an lts.conf option to set the vertical refresh rate. In Xorg.conf this would be the VertRefresh option in the monitor section.
