No, not at the moment, will look into that later; my
time is, like everybody else, limited :-(

Ahh, I will try some of the later kernels. Or add support
for hardware cursor when time permits :-)

No a cfb_imageblit(info,image) call. My code looked roughly like
during development:

void lynxfb_imageblit(info, image) {
	if(image->depth!=1)
	 	return cfb_imageblit(info,image);
	
	hardware accelerated font blit of
 	the requested image, but 
	_hardwired_ to start at 0,0

	cfb_imageblit(info,image); //At the right position
}

When I set alignment to 1 the code above does produce a normal
console except for the top line which are blitted wrong by
the hardware.

If I change alignment to 4, the hardware blits correctly, but
the rest of screen become garbage (sort of, one get a staircase effect,
probably because of the alignment)

It is not a problem anymore, now that the hardware blitting
works for me, but I will see if I get the same effect in 2.6.0pre 
kernels at the same time as I hope for the cursor to turn up all
normal again ;-)

Thanks for your help

Regards Thomas
