I switch *all* consoles to 1024x768(75Hz,32bpp) (rivafb) mode. (http://149.156.124.14/~pluto/tmp/kernel/step1.png) Even without launching a bootsplash while switching to another console I observe below effect: (strange resolution and horrible aspect ratio) http://149.156.124.14/~pluto/tmp/kernel/step2.png I switch consoles again to 1024x768(75Hz,32bpp) mode and get an oops: http://149.156.124.14/~pluto/tmp/kernel/step3.png # vanilla 2.6.7... I switch *all* consoles to 1024x768(75Hz,32bpp) (rivafb) mode. While switching to another console everything is all right. (no resolution/aspect changes, no oops). # summary Framebuffer in 2.6.8-xx is broken (again) :/ Writing to lkml =3D=3D Writing to /dev/null :/ Please, forward this email to fb-related developers. At now, PLD-Linux rolls back to 2.6.7(+security fixes). 2.6.8 is unusable :( --=20 /* Copyright (C) 2003, SCO, Inc.
