Screen shifted to left after applying recommended resolution

[sheeraz]

Hello everybody, I'm newbie and I want help. The recommended screen resolution of my monitor is "1280x1024_60.00" but there is no such option in display. So I added manually this resolution . When I applied this resolution my screen shifted to left leaving a black bar in the right side. Then I pressed adjust button on my monitor several times and it shifted to right but still there is black bar though small in the right side. What should I do ? Please guide

Set a different resolution. Command xrandr tells possible basic options.
