It sounds like a monitor problem. If you're running at a different
resolution and refresh you will need have a play with your monitor
settings. Many monitors have a control to adjust image curvature in many
ways, on of which is controlling the curve out on the right hand side of
the screen. You'll need to set these for each resolution.
Whether your Sony has this I don't know, but I don't think it has anything
to do with X if I've understood you correctly. If it's got on screen
controls then it probably does have these settings.
Have you tried changing the resolution and refresh in MacOS as seeing if
you get a similar effect? I think the refresh is pretty important to things
like this, so pay particular attention to that. Find out from MacOS which
refresh rates work ok and then specify those in your X config. I'd tell you
how, but I don't know!
If that's not it then I'm puzzled!
