Ahh yes I meant to say I have tried that. All it seems to do is move
the frontend sceeens around "inside" the xorg root window, but what I
need to do is move the xorg root window to the right about 40 pixels.

Having now managed to ssh into the machine I can report that

1. xorg is running at 1280x768

2. video chipset id intel 82865G

3. xorg.conf is very minimal and therefore everything appears to be
auto detected. No modelines or anything.

So from some online reading it is possible to adjust left/right offset
via tweaking the modeline, but without a modeline to start with, how
do I tweak it?
