I've been trying the current fbdev-2.5 tree, and am getting a corrupted console display on pm2fb. The display is fine in stock 2.6.0-test6 with the same driver. The symptoms are missing characters and characters replaced by underlined blanks. Something like this Starting NTP server: ntpd. becomes art_ng_N_P erv_r: _tpd.________________________________________________ The block cursor is present, but not flashing. Well, not quite - the bottom few lines of the cursor (corresponding to the surplus _) are flashing. I'm wondering if it's the updated soft cursor code (i.e. I'm hoping it isn't the fault of my driver :-)). Q1: Does any other driver that uses the soft cursor routines exhibit similar? Graphics mode is 1280x1024@74, depth 8, FWIW. Q2: Any other suggestions?
