Some things to try - often this is due to differing refresh rates. try
setting the refresh rate tothe same you use in wondows. you can do
this inthe screen resolution prog. Its in the preferences section on
your menu. Also, check if your actual resolution differs although i
expect you would notice that right away.
Another thing that gave similar things for me was when i used the open
source nv nvidia driver the screen was off centre but installing the
proprietory driver sorted it, so if you are running on an Nvidia (or
ATI o guess too) then you might want to install the proprietory
drivers.

hope it helps
