I'm not sure if it's related but there is a cursor problem with atyfb.=20 When doing ioctl(... KD_GRAPHICS) the cursor remains visible in most=20 cases. Sometimes it does disappear properly but that is quite rare.=20 However doing a vt switch to another vt and back again seems to fix it=20 every time so I'm not sure it's the same problem you're seeing. None of=20 the other fb drivers I use implement a hardware cursor which is probably=20 the reason I'm only seeing it on atyfb. --=20 Ville Syrj=E4l=E4 syrjala@sci.fi http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
