Device: Powkiddy X55
Rocknix Ver: 20240612 (a122bf0 (main))

On boot and onward the image is shifted a couple pixels horizontally to the left relative to the physical screen, these displaced pixels are present on the right of the screen at all times. Not dependent on application/emulator it is present from power on to power off.

Rarely the screen is aligned properly during a boot sequence until the next restart, but this is not replicable at this time. This was not present on OEM firmware.

Image Attached: Boot screen, you can see the Rocknix logo pushed on the right edge of the screen.

Apologies for the incorrect formatting. Will correct for future reports.

Just a thought, and noticed something different here. Where was this X55 acquired from? This screen appears to be different from what was shipped with the X55 updated ones direct from powkiddy.com and it looks like it has a thin bezel, unlike the factory units which do not have any bezel surround on the display screen.

I have the same problem. Purchased from Powkiddy directly month after release. The version that says MODE on the back instead of MODEL

I can confirm that this is also an issue when running software, it's not very noticeable under most conditions but the Duckstation menu is a very good testcase, the line of pixels that highlights the current menu selection on the left is rendered on the right. It seems to be two lines of pixels.

One possible solution for this could be to use the sway gaps option to shift the display or leave the 2px in the left row blank (I'm not exactly sure how this works in sway). I tried to test this but since Rocknix is read-only I couldn't get this change to persists during a reboot.

The following should do the trick:

gaps left 2
gaps right -2

If someone could give a hint on how I can apply this I'm happy to test it!

it's likely possible to tune the panel timings, but someone that owns the device would need to delve into it.

I had the same problem with other firmware (postmaketos, armbian, etc.). I thought that I damaged the components when disassembling, lol.
