Screen too far to the left

[Diego Barros]

Guys, thanks for taking the time to reply. On my display I changed the
left margin from 187 pixels to 200 and it looks fine. That was in text
mode. In X I noticed that it's still not right. Does X run fbset on it's
own and readjusts things again? Do I need to run fbset when starting X?
