Description of problem:

(Note: I sometimes refer to external Monitor as external LCD or Notebook Monitor as Notebook LCD)

I have a Notebook with following internal APU

lspci | grep -i "vga"
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 6320]

The driver that XOrg loads seems to be the "ati" one (See XOrg.log)

There is an external Monitor connected to the Notebook using the VGA port.

Notebook LCD: 1366x768
External LCD: 1920x1080

The external Monitor is usually turned off and only turned on, on demand. The following issue can be reproduced by Gnome-Shell (Gnome3) and Xfce (XFCE4.1x).

Whenever the external Monitor is powered on, I also turn it on within the "Display" settings part of either gnome-control-center or xfce-display-settings. The devices are connected as follows:

Notebook LCD: left of external Monitor
External LCD: right of Notebook Monitor

Unfortunately the Notebook LCD seem to be overlapping the External LCD Picture by 1 vertical pixel. I tried to make a Screenshot of it using internal screenshot program but the results showed nothing special. But physically when I for example move a window to the close right corner and have it snap, then I can see 1 pixel of the snapped window on the external LCD. It's like the entire external LCD is shifted right by 1 pixel from TOP to BOTTOM. Whenever I place something on the external LCD the annoying 1 pixel on the left side stays as is.

This does NOT happen if I place the external LCD below, left or top of Notebook LCD. This only happens when placed right of it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 20

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.14.4-7.fc20.i686
xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.2.0-3.20131101git3b38701.fc20.i686

Expected results:

Should show no 1 extra Pixel on the external LCD.

You can't find anything that would show irritating pictures.

Photo1 Shows both Displays and by zooming into the right external Monitor you can see a vertical line going from top to bottom which represents the artifacts of the Notebook LCD.

Showing the external Monitor. You can now zoom into it much better and see the vertical line.

And NOTE:

This does not happen when using WindowsXP/7. The external Monitor was also re-calibrated before I posted this report. So this is neither a hardware issue or a calibration issue.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:27:51 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 19:52:46 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
