Using patches from
"http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz" as suggested by
Siim Vahtre, oops goes away, but the other problems persist. The console
is even worse. Seeing a cursor blinking to the lower left, but the rest
of the screen is pretty colorful ;-).
Any specific kernel version I can try out? But I think rivafb was broken
until recently...
