Something else that might help with diagnosis is taking pictures of the
screen with known, simple elements on the screen.
e.g.:
- clear the screen
- take pic if it doesn't clear
- type a simple character like a "-"or "1"
- pic
- type a half line or full line of characters
- pic
- type different characters on two different lines
- pic
The idea being to find out, from simple known patterns, where the pixels
end up being displayed,
so it may be possible to figure out what's happening with the scan,
whether it's getting stretched, folding over, etc.
That is a good idea. Loop the terminal and create a bunch of "known
references".
Might add that it would be interesting to see one single character on a
lets say 4 different positions. Column 0, Column 20, Column 40 and end of
line. Approximately since it is hard to be exact.
