The only machine I could test with normally runs headless, so it took a while to schedule some maintenance time - sorry for the delay. I booted the 14.04 iso from DVD (too big for a CD and the machine's BIOS would not boot from a USB stick). The Dell screen displayed the splash screen and normal desktop approx 1 inch shifted to the right, exactly as originally reported. I was disappointed, and was about to give up. Something made me think to perform the screen auto-adjust function... the image wiggled around for a moment, and then displayed PERFECTLY! That machine normally runs ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and has recently been updated with the latest fixes. I booted the production 12.04 system where the desktop was misaligned and deliberately set to a low resolution so the entire image would be visible. I changed the screen resolution settings to the optimal value and it was aligned perfectly because the screen had already adjusted and memorised this SVGA resolution alignment. I presume the quirk for my display was incorporated in a 12.04 repository update at some time in the past, but I had overlooked the notice and so continued using the sub-optimal resolution. Thank you for suggesting that I run this test. You can close the bug for 12.04, 14.04, and any other releases it might apply to.
