[Bug 543912] [NEW] Virtual console size isn't detected correctly

Mon Mar 22 04:44:24 UTC 2010

Public bug reported:

Hello,

  The virtual console size is supposed to be 50x160, yet after I
upgraded to Lucid beta1, sometimes the size is detected to be 30x106.
Funny thing is that although the resolution is set correctly, yet I am
only able to work in the upper/left  75% of the screen.

I am attaching a text file depicting what I mean.
