I'm using the frame buffer console. I've compiled in: CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y CONFIG_FB_OF=y CONFIG_FB_RADEON=y CONFIG_FB_RADEON_I2C=y When I use gpm to "mouse over" characters on the console, the character under the cursor is removed, and it isn't re-drawn when the mouse leaves the character. It is only re-drawn when selected with gpm -- scrolling the screen doesn't re-paint the characters. So, the screen will look something like this: # CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set # CONFIG TY is not set # CONFIG FB_ S is no t # CONFIG FB_N MAGIC s not set # CONFI FB_KY is ot set # CONFIG_FB_3DF not set lspci reports: 0000:00:10.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY Any suggestions?
