I'm curious - is this using the framebuffer in the BMC or a separate 
video card ?

I seem to recall the text console when using the BMC framebuffer the 
display parameters are such that the top few lines to get truncated.  It 
might be that some tweaks to the framebuffer scan line settings could 
resolve this. Alas I no longer remember how this is done.

Maybe this gives a next potential step though ?
