Difference to 2.6.6 is that this rectangle now fills the entire screen instead of a smaller area. As before, text is shown all correctly (painted upon the rectangle), and the white rectangle scrolls up just like text and in the end vanishes. Switching to another VT while in X still leaves you with a blank screen and a blinking cursor. If one presses return, the screen contents is restored. Hm? (fbdev driver: sisfb 1.7.13 as of current -mm; kernel vanilla 2.6.7. Don't see any relevant changes in the -mm tree either.) -- Thomas Winischhofer Vienna/Austria thomas AT winischhofer DOT net http://www.winischhofer.net/ twini AT xfree86 DOT org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by The 2004 JavaOne(SM) Conference Learn from the experts at JavaOne(SM), Sun's Worldwide Java Developer Conference, June 28 - July 1 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA REGISTER AND SAVE! http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf Priority Code NWMGYKND
