If it's what I think you're talking about, i experienced the same
thing. The first time i started up the xserver, my screen (Powerbook G3
series 1998 "Wallstreet" 300MHz, 1024x768) displayed, but with a
vertical and horizontal line where i guess 800x600 would have been. I
could get to the rest of the desktop by moving my mouse "off screen" to
make the display scroll.. Anyway, I fixed it by selecting only ONE
possible resolution in the display configuration. I don't remember the
console command for it, but it worked... hope this is what you're
looking for.
