Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

The recent xserver updates fixed bug 547124 and brought more resolution options to the screen configuration tool (found in the menus).
However the output of 1024*768 resolution is heavily (about 3cm) left-centered if the 85Hz refresh rate is used. My monitor detects correctly the resolution/refresh rate. This resolution works normally with the 75Hz refresh rate.

Can you use the monitor's display adjustment to fix the positioning? The analog VGA signal often needs these sorts of adjustments. Is there anything to indicate that this is unusal?

I can use the monitor's adjustment to fix the positioning. I didn't get this bug before the latest xserver updates (therefore I add the regression tags). Also, I can't reproduce this bug with the nvdriver since the screens tool is then unable to change the refresh rate.

I haven't used this computer for a while but this bug disappeared yesterday when I installed gazillion of new updates, not sure which one fixed this bug.
