Subject: fonts corruption with 3dfx drm module

Zwane Mwaikambo ask me to post to kernel list directly, so here it is.

I have Voodoo 3 3000 PCI on dual pentium 200MHz (MMX) so no MTRR here
and I see occasionally font corruption with every Xfree 4.x (excluding
4.2, because don't have it yet). I use only text console. Typically one
or sometimes more characters are corrupted and look like upper/lower
fragment is eaten. Always switch to X and back correct it.

Best regards,
Marek Kassur.

In that case, let me pitch in and say I never saw any corruption.
