<p>I have a weird situation with a new installation of CentOS 5.4 x64, on a SuperMicro X7SBI server. The server has a <a href="<a href="http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/3210/X7SBi.cfm">http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/3210/X7SBi.cfm</a>" target="_new">SuperMicro X7SBi motherboard</a>,  board ATI ES1000 and Core2Quad Q9505 CPU. The kernel is </p>


<p>When I login to the console, using a "17 CRT monitor (haven't tested others), the screen is off-center to the right. This happens as soon as the boot loaders gets to:</p>
<p>"waiting for driver initialization"</p>
<p>Below are asome photos to show what happens. </p>

<p>Other Linux distro's, including Fedora Core 11, FC 12, Ubuntu 9.10 and OpenFiler 2.3 works fine though. The only thing I can think of is the video driver, but I don't have X installed, so it can't be that. And I've reinstalled CentOS 3 times already thinking I did something wrong with the installation. </p>


<p>It's not the monitor, since I have another CentOS 5.4 server, running on an Intel motherboard that looks normal with this setup. They're connected to the same monitor via a KVM switch. <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>
