Subject:   trying APM changed my screen dimensions?

I tried APM for the first time the other day --- compiling a kernel
with the extensions, making the appropriate device, and turning it
on in rc.conf.  Was able to access the status of the battery, etc, but
couldn't resume once I suspended the machine.

So I rebooted with my original kernel, and now my screen dimensions in DOS
and in the FreeBSD console have shrunk.  Once I start W95 or X and the
GUI starts up, then I can use the full screen.

While this seems an odd problem to have, and annoying to a perfectionist, it
isn't really causing difficulties.  Nevertheless, I'm curious what I might have
done and how I might fix it.

Using FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a Thinkpad 560X.  One clue is that a Thinkpad utility
reports APM 1.0, while the code I tried was 1.1.

Ideas? 

Thanks,
