[Bug 30631] Re: Text mode virtual terminals in normal monitor remain widescreen

[Matthew Caron]

I have the same problem on 2 different machines, same monitor.

Machine 1 - Using ATI Radeon 9200 Card.
Machine 2 - Using ATI Rage 128 Card.

Both of these are hooked to Dell 2005FPW monitors (16:9 resolution) and
exhibit the same "top and bottom cut off" issue. I am using the
D-SUB/VGA connection.

A third machine, using some variety of ATI card (not sure which), does
not have this issue, using the DVI connection.

I should also note that in all cases, the BIOS displays fine.

Both of the above machines did not have this issue under previous
versions of Ubuntu. They have run both Hoary and Breezy with this
monitor. This problem only started with dapper.

I will try disabling bootsplash and seeing if it helps.
