I tried with savagefb and vga16fb. vga16fb is mapped to all consoles wit= h fbcon=3Dmap:1. Set different tty's at different angles of rotation. Then used con2fbmap to make savagefb take over the entire console. I don't experience any hang, and all the consoles are properly rotated at their respective angles. I also tried mapping vga16fb back. The resulting screen becomes corrupte= d of course, but no hang. I can map savagefb back again without problems. (The only bad thing that happened is when I tried switching consoles when vga16fb owns the console and the display is corrupted. The machine reboots.) =20 Tony ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc. Get Certified Today Register for a JBoss Training Course.
