[SLUG] console wackiness

Hey folks. Whenever I go to text mode (beside or without X, not a terminal
emulator), the bottom 4-5 lines is cut off. The text area is normally
sized, just the "virtual screen" extends several lines below my
physical screen. If I run "/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh" the letters
become smaller and everything is visibile. The right monitor shows
garbage at that point, but that's a small price to pay for being able
to see everything.

Why doesn't this work at boot time? What can I do to correct it?
