Bad display on console (nVidia)
Hello.
Having enabled nVidia framebuffer support in the kernel config,
I end up with a console only displaying on the right half on the
screen. Well, not exactly, as the end of a long line is displayed
at the left of the beginning of that same line. [It appears as
if the display is shifted to the right and the right border of
the screen is wrapped to the left border.]
Moreover, the start of each line (thus: about the center of the
screen) is duplicated for 4 characters!
$ lsmod | grep nv

i2c_core 25216 6 nvidiafb,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_amd8111,w83627hf,i2c_isa,i2c_sensor
Excerpt from "kern.log":

Are there some parameters (which and where) to be set in order to
solve this?
Thanks and best regards.
