If this matches your laptop, the native display resolution is 1440x900, which should be what we are shooting to acquire by our efforts. If this is not a match, please provide your display specifications, if not the whole laptop's, so we can be sure what we are trying isn't wasted effort. Judging from the log, the display seems to be a 1024x768, which for most people nowadays is a fallback resolution resulting from broken driver configuration.

Searching the internet it seems very likely to be obsolete. The newest hit I noticed is over 10 years old. It does not appear in: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt Consequently, unless you somehow know you need it, I suggest removing it, so that the kernel and IRQ population are not burdened by any possible undesirable effect(s) on I/O. > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID (in hex): > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 00ffffffffffff002e0d000000000000 > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 0409010280000000e200000000000000 > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 00000000080001010101010101010101 > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 01010101010164190040410026301888 > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 36000000000000180000000000000000 > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 00000000000000000000000000000000 > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 00000000000000000000000000000000 > [ 77.837] (II) NOUVEAU(0): 000000000000000000000000000000ff I've never seen so many zero's in EDID before. It, along with your offset problem, makes me suspicious that it's broken. I suggest to try saving as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf, the following, containing rather generic sync & refresh specs[1]: Section "Monitor" Identifier "DefaultMonitor" VendorName "Toshiba" ModelName "p25s509" HorizSync 30-81 VertRefresh 59-61 Option "PreferredMode" "1440x900" EndSection After restarting Xorg or rebooting, if the results aren't to your liking, upload Xorg.0.log somewhere, somehow, without wrapping - or, attach the log to your email. Please do not copy and paste unless you also disable your emailer's automatic line wrapping functionality. Meanwhile if you wish while waiting on a response, remove the file, start X as you normally would, open a terminal, and try changing refresh and/or modes using man xrandr and xrandr. You may find a combination that correctly centers. [1] If you manage to collect your display's actual sync and refresh specs, through hwinfo or otherwise, please substitute them. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
