Hi,

I'm shurly not a fb guru, but i have had the same problem with my normal 
Screen, if I get you right.
I used the "right" or "left" option of the matroxfb_base kernel modul.
You can try that or play around with the right option of fbset. But I 
don't know if it works the same like the matrox modul.
You also can try to use the "move" option (try "man fbset")

Hope this is helpfull!
