The two boxes I use have LCD monitors, of different brands. When in X, |
| 2 |
the "real estate" area is optimized. When I switch to a VC, the idea the |
| 3 |
system has about the physical dimensions of the screen changes, and a |
| 4 |
part of the displayed stuff is cropped. I can adjust it by pressing the |
| 5 |
Auto button in the monitor controls, but then I get a black vertical |
| 6 |
strip on the left after switching back to X, and I have to press Auto |
| 7 |
again, etc. |

The boxes have different graphical cards, one with the ATI kernel driver |
| 10 |
and the other with the nvidia driver. The console driver is VESA-TNG in |
| 11 |
both cases, but with VESA the problem is the same. |

Is there some workaround? Some way the coax the system into using the |
| 14 |
correct physical dimensions in X and VC? |
