These seems to become a FAQ, depending on the problem it might help:
- either using framebuffer, e.g. using a Kernel with framebuffer
support and a boot option like vga=791, for details
see the FrameBuffer-HOWTO http://tldp.org/
- or disabling framebuffer, e.g. using a boot option like
vga=normal
- as a workaround often it is possible to switch to a second console
e.g. <ALT>+<F2> , because this effect is often only related
to the first console
- check if there are vga and video boot options (grub, lilo) try
to disable them at least partly, look for options like ywrap, etc.
- if none of the above helps, you may try to run a start-up-script,
which contains the `clear' command
