Comment:
That's because it's a monitor with a poor VGA digitizer: the differences
between the operating systems stem from the fact that they often use
slightly different mode lines. There is no simple x/y position setting
that you could alter, at least not separately.
Apart from AmigaOS (with CybergraphX) I've never seen an operating system
that used something like that, anyway, and since VGA cables are pretty
much dead nowadays, I don't really see the point in the effort.
What you could do to solve the issue personally, if it bugs you, is to
make sure that all systems use the exact same mode. For example, in Haiku
you can use the BScreen API to set (and store) such a mode. With X you can
change it via modelines. I don't know of a way in Windows, but that is
usually not necessary there.
