-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I've noticed the same thing. It only happens when I use X in bpp 16 mode. If I use the standard bpp 8 mode the screen does not shift. I know there are commands to use in the config files to adjust this, but not off hand. I just leave it adjusted for X and forget it.
Is it possible that the other kernel you're talking about boots a different XF86Config file in standard mode while your normal kernel uses your config files? On 07-Apr-97 Nathan O.
