LinuxQuestions.org - screen goes un-readably distorted after leaving X11

Hi,

I use a Dell 2005FPW which is a wide screen LCD. It took me some time to get it to work with X11, but ever since I have, when I leave X11, it makes my console completely distorted and unreadable. Everything is blurry and the text is just all over the place.

Another thing, is when I boot up, the screen seems wrongly offset or something, for instance, when gentoo loads, it has the [OK] boxes on the right hand side... well the right bracket gets cut off and ends up at the beginning of the line, so it looks like:

Code:

] Bringing up eth0 [OK

I can't figure out either of the problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

So let me give you some of my settings:

In my kernel, I have the following enabled:

Code:

Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Support for framebuffer devices

Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> Vesa VGA Graphics Support -> Vesa Driver Type -> vesafb

Device Drivers -> Graphics Support -> support for the framebuffer splash
