The current code doesn't take the horizontal sync skew (CRTC[5]5:6)
into account. This might have caused this problem.
I fixed this. Now we may have to retune the video skews.

I agree, hotkey display switching will most likely mess up the
video offsets. The Xserver doesn't get notified when a switch happens
therefore we cannot adapt our values. I don't like to read back the
CRTC registers on every frame to see if they have changed.
Maybe I can add some code to do this every 100 or so frames.

Egbert.
