During bootup I get dirty artefacts on the screen. It's hard to explain. The text first is clear on the screen, but then there come so many dirty lines on top of it, that you cannot read anything. When the xserver is started, the problem is away. switching to a console with [Alt][CTRL][F1] works perfectly. And then you can read the text normally. I have compiled the driver with the debug-option, which brought the following output. I'm not quite sur, if this can help, because I got it, when the console worked after starting X. [ 148.839846] hStart = 1040, hEnd = 1176, hTotal = 1344 [ 148.839851] vStart = 770, vEnd = 776, vTotal = 806 [ 148.839855] h_total_disp = 0x7f00ync_strt_wid = 0x11040a [ 148.839858] v_total_disp = 0x2ff0325noti login: [ 148.839846] hStart = 1040, hEnd = 1176, hTotal = 1344 [ 148.839851] vStart = 770, vEnd = 776, vTotal = 806 [ 148.839855] h_total_disp = 0x7f00a7ync_strt_wid = 0x60301 [ 148.839860] pixclock = 15384 [ 148.839862] freq = 6500 Is there anything I can do to get this dirty lines away?
