Hello All,

I have an iMac which has video card issues. Fortunately it runs well 
enough to run Linux and X windows on it. But the screen is shifted a 
little the left so that the first couple of characters (in non X) are 
cut off. Since I run X on it all the time, I would like to tweak the 
Modeline parameter to shift the screen a little to the left.

So my question is this:
1) any know of a utility which will do this?
2) if there is no utility, anyone have expertise in messing with 
XF86Config-4 to accomplish shifting the screen to the right?

TIA,
