I had to go back to single seat mode. The system wasn't stable enough, for other reasons actually. I had it working briefly yesterday and it did happen, and this is indeed Gutsy.

Looking with Google I found a similar problem (http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg150582.html), but in their case seemed to be related to screen blanking, that is not the case for me.

It takes eight lines like: echo "some random text">/dev/console to produce a complete rotation back to the original position. I'm running at 1152x864, 75Hz refresh rate, but if I change to, say 1280x1024, 60Hz the effect remains the same.
