Bug#423014: console's last three lines become inaccessible once xdm start up

Understandable.

No - it's been junked (see below for why), that's why I replaced it.
This might justify closing the bug as "hardware fault".

The bug persisted through an upgrade shortly before, which broke X
support for the old CRT; and we (a sysadmin and I) were unable to work
out what was the matter with it; but a replacement display workd fine,
so we blamed the CRT. However, in investigating that, we were
routinely using the console, which *was* missing its bottom three
lines.
So I don't believe the disappearance was due to the software upgrade.
