SOLVED: Text console misaligned on PowerMac4.1

Hi,

The text consoles (CTRL-ALT-F1->f6) on this PowerMac all annoyingly chop off the left-most 1.5 characters of each line. (So make becomes ake and 'checking' becomes 'hecking' etc.) Whilst this was fun for a while I'd like to know how to fix it. On x86 I'd twiddle with the monitor controls, but this monitor (built in) doesn't seem to have any twiddlers on it.

I have no idea where to look to alter text console alignments!

Any ideas? Cheers

Chris

Emerge fbset. It will let you move the display to the right.
