My old laptop has a crack on literally the right side of the screen, which luckily doesn't destroy the whole screen, but makes a small strip unusable.
This is pretty frustrating, because you often cannot read menus and texts on this part of the screen. So I thought about downsizing the screen and position it to the left, from which the first is easily doable, but I don't know how to do the second.
At the moment, I am using xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1200x768_60.0, which scales down the screen, but positions it in center. I could of course make the x axis even smaller, but then I would also loose a strip on the left side, which is not what I want.
Side note: Using --scale 0.88x1.0 makes it exactly the size I want, but well, it is scaled, and therefore looks horrible…

This one could be a duplicate, but it only provides an answer for NVidia drivers.
