Screen problem on booting
Hi all, I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p2 Since a few days I've noticed something weird. On booting, all the text I see is shifted to the left, so I lose the first ten letters or so in every line of text. After login, once I type startx the X Window system seems to be OK _and_ if I go back to a console with Alt-Ctrl-Fn the console is fine again. My graphic card is an ATI Radeon HD2400. Anybody noticed it? Thanks in advance.
