Summary	05961: gotcha: [possible] Layer offsets.
Description	The bg layer is shifted by 1 pixel 'left' and the fg layer is shifted by 1 pixel 'up' (See attachments). If this isn't an original PCB behavior, the correct shifts should be (-1, 1) for fg_set_scrolldx and (-4, 0) for bg_set_scrolldx.

So if you tweak the bg layer by 1 pixel, the fg layer needs to move the same way. Otherwise the 2 layers are not aligned with eachother and the sprite buttons on the cpanel will be placed 1 pixel off. But if you do that, you will get glitches elsewhere on the other edge of the screen. I think the driver author picked what looks best overall.
