Subject: FB: vesafb garbled after using X11 with nv driver
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2004 22:55:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041111215530.GB24338@charite.de> (raw)
I use the nv driver in XFree and the vesafb for the framebuffer console.
vesafb works fine, I get the bootlogo and all during boot.
Once X11 starts up and I want to switch back to the framebuffer
console using CTRL-ALT-F1, the framebuffer is garbled. The screen is
flickering, as if the vertical synchronisation is lost. Colors seem to
be OK, I get grey garbage on black background.
Switching back to X11 using ALT-F7 works OK, the X11 screen looks fine.
I made two screenshots to illuminate what I'm seeing:

(watch out, high resolution)
It's not entirely clear if it's an issue of the nv driver or the vesafb
in the kernel.
