I get something similar when using the radeonfb driver except that I get
mulit-colored garbage on the screen instead of solid white. The
difference is probably due to the different ways that radeonfb and sisfb
remap the VGA memory layout. I posted a fix in a post titled "Console
takeover screen corruption issue" a while back on this list.
Could you see if that patch fixes your problem? If enough people test
it we could probably get it included into the kernel.
