I'm one of those several people - perhaps the most recent at this particular time - who's contacted RIchard about his solution. I'm not running Ubuntu- rather I'm running Debian. Anyway, following instruction in Richard's prior comment (and with his gracious assistance via email) I no longer suffer with the insufferable off-center screen! Richard's fix works. Looking around the web, seems a lot of iMac users are frustrated by this problem, and I can say from having installed several distros it's a problem across the board. As a newbie, I'll admit I was ready to give up on delving into linux until I was able to find, via great assistance at the Fedora forum, a solution for this under Fedora. Able to run Fedora on my iMac, I got comfortable enough with linux to buy a bargain PC laptop and install Fedora on there and confront the special challenges therein . Now, trying out different distros seems to be one of the fun parts of learning linux- and thanks to Richard I can run Debian without running off the right side of my screen! I do hope this patch gets applied as needed so us powerpc users can take advantage of upcoming releases without having to worry about this.
