Just a wild guess -
Is it possible that someone has set up an ircombine setting that makes the
managed area larger than the screen you are viewing it on?
Some programs open up a window that (by default at least) covers the entire
managed area.
So, you could be looking at just a portion of the image - and that would
make the vanishing point for perspective and the place you are driving
towards be somewhere other than the center of the screen. That can happen
on most machines - you may be seeing it only on your ONYX 2 simply because
of how it happens to be set up.
