[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#592111: nvidia-glx: virtual consoles shifted down and to the right when switching from X

[Jonas Pfenninger]

Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 195.36.24-4
Severity: normal

When switching from X to a tty the whole screen of the console is shifted down
so I can only see the one line of text (the one that should be at the top of
the screen, it is now at the bottom). The text that is shifted out of sight
to the right appears (as usual) at the left of the screen. I had this problem
also with a different laptop with a Nvidia Geforce 9500M GS. I have tried the
window managers openbox and awesome. The console works fine, I just can't see
what I'm typing.
