[Bug 30631] Re: Text mode virtual terminals in normal monitor remain widescreen

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

mmezo:

Are you using a CRT monitor?

If so it sounds like you need to enter your monitors control panel
stretch the height of the screen when you are using a VT. Most modern
CRTs remember different sizes for different resolutions (and even
different refresh rates) so it shouldn't affect anything else.

As for X not starting that sounds different another issue and will have
to be spun off into a bug of its own because bug reports can only
contain one issue at a time.
