I have the NEC Multisync 3D and an Orchid ProDesigner PLUS.  I have the
same problem the original poster (D. Murdoch) has had about centering
the image on the display and such.  I run this display in 640x480(VGA),
800x400(super-VGA), and 1024x768(hi-res) resolutions.  All of these modes
seem to be shifted to the right (each to different amounts).  I happen
to be running ISC UNIX with the X Window System.  But the "image shifting"
also happens when I have run MSDOS-based PC XSight (by Locus Computing).
Anyone else having these problems?  Better yet, anyone have an answer? :-)
