I guess there is a significant difference in resolution and frame rate 
between console mode and your YDL graphic mode. It is quite normal for 
monitors to shift the screen as these settings are changed. Modern 
monitors are supposed to remember settings for each set of screen 
parameters that are used, so that switching mode will not move the 
picture. You may actually have a monitor problem...
