Hello,

My newer x86_64 testbox shows a problem with vga text console, basicly 
when drm is initialized (without modesetting, kernel has "nomodeset" 
parameter), 
all the text gets some offset, ie. the text doesn't start from the
beginning of the line, but from the middle of the screen.

This happens with pv_ops dom0 kernel, using Xen 3.4.x hypervisor. The
same kernel binary works OK without problems on baremetal (without Xen).

I recorded a video of this behaviour, it's easiest to check it out:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/xen_pvops_dom0_vga_console_line_offset_problem-xvid.avi

Any ideas? 

Hardware is Supermicro Intel motherboard with ATI ES1000 graphics.
