Subject: Soft cursor woes (?) in fbdev-2.5
Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2003 00:03:58 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <XFMail.20031002000358.jim.hague@acm.org> (raw)
Hope I haven't missed a discussion of this....
I've been trying the current fbdev-2.5 tree, and am getting a corrupted console
display on pm2fb. The display is fine in stock 2.6.0-test6 with the same driver.
The symptoms are missing characters and characters replaced by underlined
blanks. Something like this
Starting NTP server: ntpd.
becomes
art_ng_N_P erv_r: _tpd.________________________________________________
The block cursor is present, but not flashing. Well, not quite - the bottom few
lines of the cursor (corresponding to the surplus _) are flashing.
I'm wondering if it's the updated soft cursor code (i.e. I'm hoping it isn't
the fault of my driver :-)).
Q1: Does any other driver that uses the soft cursor routines exhibit similar?
Graphics mode is 1280x1024@74, depth 8, FWIW.
Q2: Any other suggestions?
Ta.
