Hi
After changing my hardware, a curious problem appeared with Wheezy
and Squeeze.
When starting X from a console, the space of the other consoles seem
"zoomed": the bottom of the console is not visible but I can always
return the data from the keyboard, "blindly".
The command 'setupcon' restores the normal console but when I
restart X, console is disturbed again. The graphic card is a Nvidia
Quadro600 so I tested kernel mode setting with the driver 'Nouveau':
no problem. The console doesnt seem disturbed because of the
framebuffer ..... By cons, as I have not intend to use Nouveau
driver, I would like consoles back normal. I tested also with
another graphics card (MatroxP690, vesa driver), same problem.
I dont understand how X server can change the consoles display.
Thank you for any help, ideas / suggestions on this oddity.

Please try this: at the grub prompt press 'e' (like wanting to edit an
entry) and then Ctrl-X (proceed with the boot) and then try to reproduce
the bug.
