Hi David, 

to get rid of this, adjust your monitor settings, so that ASCII (=console) is 
looking fine for you. If you do so, X will not be in the middle any more. To 
correct this, you can easily correct the X settings. There is a tool named 
xsettings available (SuSE can correct via sax, others can be corrected by 
xsetup).

This is a well known problem, and many people only adjust in X with the 
monitor settings and forget about the console. 

Good luck!
