Howdy,
I just installed Arch for the first time (after using Ubuntu for a few years) and I'm having a problem. For some reason, it is messing up the screen resolution after rebooting the system. It occurs every time, and the text appears to both wrap around the monitor from the middle and extend beyond the bottom of the screen. The error is reproducable; when I boot up an Ubuntu live-cd, I get the same issue when trying to set my screen resolution to 1280x800. Every mode below that works just fine.
I tried a bunch of different things with respect to the screen resolution, but no matter what I set "vga=" to, I can't get it to display properly. X will open just fine, but with the same issue. For reference, here are the specs of my computer:

Also, I am using the x86_64 install, though it happened with the i686 one as well.
Any help is appreciated, and though I will do what I can, it will be hard for me to post anything from arch since I can't see much.
Thank you in advance

You didn't say which drivers are you using - nvidia or nouveau - and does it happen in the console too?

I first tried it with the nouveau drivers and that didn't work. I then installed nvidia, and that didn't fix it. This issue happens in the console as well as in X.

Are you using any DE? Does it happen even before you install X?
