Is this a known issue? I am running Gentoo 2006.0 kernel 2.6.16-r13, on a EPIA (duh) with 128mb PC100, P3 Celeron 1.1ghz. I haven enabled an IRQ for the VGA in the bios, and turned on all caching and shadowing options. Spread spectrum is off. I have compiled the driver directly into the kernel, I have also compiled the vesafb-tng driver into the kernel but no other fb drivers. The line I send to the kernel is video=cyblafb:1024x768,bpp=32,ref=85. I only got it working this evening so I haven't tried much else, as this is the mode I wish to run in, but I will fiddle with it a bit. Any help / advice would be extremely welcome.

Hi there

It took me some time tearing my hair out with the = tridentfb driver before I finally stumbled upon this one, but I have noticed that = when text scrolls on the screen (like at bootup) there are glitches with the display, little distortions that span across the display, but only when = text is moving on the display. Is this a known = issue?
