Yep, but the point is that it worked fine some time ago (probably with
-p1, though I'm not sure). And as I said after using X, if I go back
again to console mode, monitor settings are correct. Doesn't this
means there is some kind of problem with video at start up?
None of my other operating systems in that machine suffer this problem.
