** Description changed:
My computer is a HP 2133 netbook (FU353EA), with a wlan network
controller BCM4312. It has an interrupt to activate/deactivate radio
activities (wlan and bluetooth) and the maximum screen resolution
accepted by the monitor is 1024x600.
So the problem is these one: if I boot up my computer whit the radio
activities deactivated the X server works perfect, and when starts I can
see all the area of de desktop, it's normal... but if I boot up the
system with the radio button activated the X server detects the maximum
resolution of my screen like 1366x768 and some area of the desktop is
positioned out of the screen limits.
A description of the situation can be looked in the next schema:
(You should see the "image" commented at C style /* */ in a uniform-

But at the other hand, if there is no driver (proprietary driver or ndis
driver through ndiswrapper) installed on the system the resolution gets
correctly but if there is some driver installed the resolution gets
wrong.
I hope that you understand the exact problem, it is very strange, and I
had very surprised when I noticed the bug...
Good luck.
I had temporally solved the bug with a script which install the
ndiswrapper driver for my network card in /etc/rc.local.
I am not exactly sure if the problem comes from the Xorg, but it is very
probable that the X server is miss-interpreting the screen model.
