There seems to be a problem in the frame buffer console, It appears as >>if the resolution has been changed from 1024x768 to 1024x800 or something >>like that (I can only half see the sh prompt when it has come down), but the >>argument I passed at boot time was still 788.

Did you reset your monitor so it remembers the height/width/centering >for your new resolution? Maybe you didn't know?

Penguin : Linux version 2.4.20 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Why is the government concerned about the lunatic fringe? Think about >it.

Thats not the problem (I still checked it though)

The problem is that screen that is showed will fit 1024x773 and not 1024x768. Everything that I open starts at the very top of my screen but ends 3 or 4 pixels below. This does not happen with older kernels and with X and it is _not_ a monitor problem.
