I looked up the values in Linux kernel 2.4.28; they have:
--- /src/linux-2.4.28/drivers/video/newport_cons.c
static int xcurs_correction = 29; 

if (board_rev == 3)     /* I don't know all affected revisions */
	xcurs_correction = 21;
---

But as mentioned in the code, they dont know the values either.
Still, (board_rev == 3) is very different from (board_rev < 6).

Btw: I have another issue with my Indy console apart from the cursor position...
Sometimes NetBSD boots just fine in fullscreen console mode but sometimes it
boots in that small boot window (it doesnt have keyboard input then). This
happens atleast 50% of the time, so its quite annoying, as i have to reboot
via ssh every time this happens.
