Can you horizontal shift the display of the XVR-100 ?

ODeskMar 17 2014 — edited Mar 25 2014

An odd problem with a few Blade 1500's with XVR-100 video cards...

Recently been given Samsung monitors with native resolutions of 1920x1080, so using them as secondary monitors with xinerama (primary Sun monitor is 1920x1200). 

They work OK and detect properly in fbconfig except I can't get the monitor to autoadjust properly.  It seems the display is shifted about 1 inch to the left, cutting off the display and leaving empty space on the right.  Somehow I need to shift the display output to the right but the monitor itself stupidly has no manual adjustments (not to that shift distance anyway).

The only current fix I have is to drop the resolution down to the next available supported which is 1600x1200, then the autoadjust works and centres the screen, but with blurry non-native results.

I cant figure out if it's a compatibility problem with the monitors and cards, buggy driver (Solaris 10), or something else.  I don't have any other model card to test with or other monitor brands with the same native resolutions so I can only shrug and live with the dropped resolution for now.

Oddly, the "Sun XVR-100 Graphics Accelerator Installation Guide" Table 1-1 says the resolution is supported, but the "Oracle Systems Handbook" does not.  I wonder if maybe it's a bad res?

Any thoughts, people running 1920x1080?
