There are two more thing I think it's better to tell you: 1) This happened also with the standard radeonfb. When the driver is loaded, the whole screen image is moded up of about 3 or 4 mm. So the upper part of the screen is cut, and at the bottom there is a black strip. "fbset -vsync high" fixes this perfectly, so this isn't a real problem, maybe is just a characteristic of my hardware, telling you shouldn't hurt. 2) when switching from x to console, happens that when the text scrolls outside the screen, it reappears in the bottom part of the screen, very bigger, and everything gets messed up. I don't know if this could be related to the flicker problem, but it never happened with the old radeonfb. Playing a bit with fbset solves the problem. I didn't understand exactly what causes this, I'm investigating. paride ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
