There is a slight change... the virtual screen does not scroll; instead it
wraps around underneath the 20 pixel margin and further... (hard to
describe.. I'll try a picture.
This is at depth of 15 with modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
"ioctl FBIOPAN_DISPLAY: Invalid argument" was repeated many times in
the console.
I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 with the kernel FB interface option
both off and on, with no discernible change.
There is now also quite severe barrel distortion.
