I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

I've noticed this occur with many alternative OSs as well--BeOS shifts the screen right, my framebuffer console shifts it far left, X shifts it around the middle. Vesa drivers, for some reason, never have this problem. Is it inherent in the Vesa specification?
