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.
