You don't have a multisync ?

Hmm - that's a bit much for just being a problem with sync alignment. Maybe
a problem with the driver. List: Who's the maintainer ? Maybe you two
would like to sort that out.
Do other resolutions work ?

Oh - that's strange. Try to fbset teh other consoles as well.

Did you try the kgi_mtrr parameter ?

Does it reboot by itself ? That would be a really bad bug.
If not, your monitor description probably doesn't allow it, which would also
explain problems with other consoles, as they still are in 640x480, which
will cause unpredictable results, if that mode ceases to work.

Just like with XFree. Copy the modelines over to the timelist format.
However usually a multisync definition is better.

Nearly - to my knowledge it is not possible to detach the consoles from the
fbdev driver.
Are kernel fbdev drivers removeable now ? If yes, we should be able to do
the same.
One can move them to a new driver, though.

I suppose that worked before the change ? (i.e. when fbdev was in 640x480
anyway) ?

O.K. - that's one of the more complicated ones - skip that for now.
Try demo.c.

What about them ?
