Re: Dell Axim X51 screen size

I also have the x51 and have the same issue. When haret loads, it's messages
appear in the right part of the screen, aligned to the left.
However when the kernel boots, it is aligned about 1/3 the way from the
left. This occurs with all the available versions of the kernel too.
It is worse on the older versions. Attempting to load the x5X(V) kernel
results in the same problem as well, with other obvious flaws.
