First it may be wise to change the first timing setting (pixclock) to 0 (at least for now), as this'll auto-select that setting. For the others, perhaps you could experiment with the settings individually, using fbset, to get an idea of whether they may have a part to play in this most odd problem. Something like "fbset -left 100". > Another thing: doesn't the -a switch set (a)ll the > consoles? Not in this instance.
