Description Dirk Kaar 2005-08-13 22:19:27 UTC 
On my analog TFT display, minor timing differences in the same screen mode 
(1280x1024 in this case) cannot be stored as different profiles inside the TFT 
monitor, but instead cause the screen contents to be off to the right or to 
the left by a few characters' width. 
This problem is triggered by the different installation and boot phases using 
slightly different horizontal or vertical refresh timings. 
 
For a given resolution and display type, all display drivers, i.e. frame 
buffer device and X11 server, should use an identical set of parameters for 
refresh timings etc.

please file openSUSE bugs against product SUSE 10.0.
Comment 2 Marcus Schaefer 2005-08-17 09:24:36 UTC 
boot screen timings are fixed values within the kernel framebuffer 
driver. X11 configuration timings are bound to an internal mode pool 
from the nvidia driver. There is no mechanism to come in sync with the 
X11 server and the framebuffer console
