Same here. The drivers from Nvidia and from the open source community
use slightly different settings for screen position. Yes, it's annoying.
I'm sure that could be changed with ModeLines in xorg.conf, but that
wouldn't help for KMS. Maybe the developers of the open source drivers
only use DVI and don't care, or they don't use Windows and never
noticed the problem.

Sure, then you use Nvidia's driver with both operating systems.
They use the same settings for screen position of course.

Nvidia's downloadable driver for Windows allows you to shift the
screen. That's the easiest solution of you use this drivers.
If you use the Nvidia driver that comes with Windows then I don't
know if it's possible to modify the screen position.
