The laptop runs ATI radeon - when I attempt to boot with radeonfb+fbcon statically linked it wraps the pixels as if the driver is using 1410 pixels per row while the hardware only has 1400 The desktop has a Vodoo 3500 AGP - when I attempt to boot with 3dfxfb+fbcon statically it freezes early in the boot, probably right when the fb stuff starts. I'm running 2.5.56 on both, so any tests, on any further info, just let me know. I'm not on the list, so please CC me on any replies.
