When you set your resolution with fbset, if your desired resolution does
not match your screen's aspect ratio, the framebuffer will only occupy
as much screen such that the framebuffer view does not overflow, ie
lines printed too far down your screen that it will not display them
until the framebuffer scrolls itself.
