This sounds to me like the video output hardware running at a different
configuration from whatever's driving the data in the framebuffer.
I've seen similar things when, for example, switching a SPARC
cgfourteen from 8bpp console to 32bpp X, or when starting X on a peecee
console.  In my experience they usually make sense when looked at as
two things treating the same memory differently....
