Re: Latest kernel update

[Paul Robert Marino]

On the console well that sounds like either a bad flag in your startups or like you are loading the wring kernel frame buffer driver. Either way it sounds more like a startup script problem than a kernel problem although with out details about your hardware(video card), the kernel modules you have loaded, and quite a bit more information its impossible to give you a definitive answer. For that matter it could be an artifact from a proprietary X11 video card driver that isn't behaving properly. You simply haven't given us enough information to help you.
Let us know the details I've mentioned so far and we can start to attempt to help you but without enough details to attempt to reproduce it no one can realistically help you.

Something about the latest kernel update made the standard consoles
unusable. X is OK. And I can ssh in just fine. So it's not "critical",
yet. There is a problem with alt-F2 and the like. It appears that the
window is either in a VERY large font or is somehow magnified so that
only a little bit of it shows.

Does that sound like a set of symptoms anybody knows how to fix?
