I am running KDE 4.10.5 on FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE.
I have a problem with my display which I thought perhaps could be fixed with xrandr. A new monitor was installed and at its native resolution of 1680x1050 the viewable area is shifted to the left by about 5cm (2"). As a matter of diagnostics I have read the repair manual, reset the monitor settings, tried a different computer with Linux, and replaced the cable, yet get exactly the same display showing under all conditions. So, it does appear to be the monitor, even though it works correctly at all other resolutions and has no other discernible problems. If anybody has insight into this hardware situation, I am interested. The monitor is an acer x223w.
In the meanwhile I thought that perhaps a workable solution would be to use xrandr to move the image to the right. I'm not yet certain about the correct command, but cannot get any response from using this one:
Although xrandr appears to be working, it has no effect on the display whatsoever. Its output without arguments looks like this:
Other resolutions work fine. The 1440x900 has the same 1.6:1 aspect and works correctly, but is not acceptable to me. Also, the KDE system settings are set as above, but offer no ability to change the offset or scan rate.
