Force auto adjust of monitor from software under Linux

with a analog monitor I'm always getting image that is shifted to the right when the Xorg starts. Is there a way to force auto-adjusting from software for example by using xranrd?

Indeed you can use XRandR tool. For example if your second monitor is connected via VGA cable you can use the command:

 xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1

--auto parameter will try to set resolution automatically.

If you want specific resolution you can experiment with --mode parameter, for example

 xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1050 --right-of LVDS1
