Since the update of the version 1204 to version 14.4 I have on the right and left of the screen a 4 cm wide margin , although the setting is 1600 x 1200 .
Maybe this hint helps in troubleshooting .

LeiseWolke, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A78LMUSB3/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2001). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Christopher,
with people from the LUG Balista we have solved the problem. My Monitor ! (16:9) settings are misaligned during the Update from 12.04 to 14.04. In the LUG we have only 4:3 Monitor, so the problem was not reproducible. After more than three times in the LUG come a friend to my home and we look together to rectify the fault. At least he said look at the Setting at your monitor. And so we found the solution. My friend do not now, why this problem was. But now my monitor works normal.
Thank you for help.
Wolfgang
