I have (well had, as of last week), a pretty similar configuration (same
machine, video card, display, RAM) and I think that I see something
similar. For me, the display has always been a little angled under X, I
think that MacOS may adjust the display area a little to compensate for
this kind of thing (but I could be wrong). It's never hindered my work,
tho.
Later.
