Originally that was supposed to be a feature so you could get more than 9 dots,
but I knew it didn't work, and forgot about fixing it.  803c: 3a b0 ed
should add in a bit of error checking.

I don't know what would cause that - possibly it's hitting some softswitch
to put the monitor in 50 Hz mode, which causes the top to 'roll' on top of 
itself a bit?
