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

[mmezo]

I'm using a flat pannel (TFT) monitor (via analog DSUB-15 interface, not
digital DVI).

I'll attach some images that show the effect.

They are taken with a mobile phone camera and are of poor quality, but I
hope it is enough to see the problem

The first one shows that X fills the whole screen correctly.

The second one shows that text mode virtual terminals leave two black
stripes at the top and bottom of the screen. (I have "highlighted" them
with two red lines).

The "viewport" is only the center of the screen, but text flows under
both stripes and so does the command line, so you cannot see what you
are typing because it happens below the bottom masked area.

I now have Dapper upgraded with the latest packages as of today
(18/05/2006).

Lets see if I manage to attach the photos....
