** Description changed:
There seems to be an error in X.org version 1.3.0 on my Ubuntu 7.10
system.
I have an approx 20 pixels black border at the left of my screen when I
boot up in Linux on my dual boot system. In Windows the screen is
aligned correctly.
I have tried the xvidtune tool. It initially reports:
"1024x768" 65.00 1024 1048 1184 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync
and after pressing 'Left' a couple of times and getting the window properly
shifted left, it reports:
"1024x768" 65.00 1024 1068 1204 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync -vsync
I updated my /etc/X11/xorg.conf to contain:
...
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]"
Driver "nv"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HP L1510"
Option "DPMS"
Modeline "1024x768" 65.00 1024 1068 1204 1344 768 771 777 806 -hsync
-vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]"
Monitor "HP L1510"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480"
EndSubSection
...
This didn't help although xvidtune aligned the window perfectly !?
I looked in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and there I found:

It appears to me, that the xserver doesn't use the configured Modeline at all
!?
