I'm using a Matrox G400 and noticed following problem: after starting X11 (_not_ using the fbdev but the xfree4.2 mga driver) when switching back to the console the display is somewhat distorted: when reching the lowest line of the screen right to the text on the line a colorful pattern of pixelnoise appears. After switching back and forth from one vconsole to another the noise disapears but returns when entering the next line... This (mis)behavior continues even after quiting X11. I tested both matrox-fb-drivers of 2.6.0-test6 and different screen-resolutions but with no significant difference. Hope this is the right place for this Bugreport.
