Can you try this? This doesn't appear to solve the ywrap problem - I still get places where the screen doesn't scroll. I decided to write a small program to dump out the contents of fb_var_screeninfo, and where stuff goes horribly wrong: bash-2.04# ./tst Visible: 1280x1024 Virtual: 1280x1632 BPP : 8 Offset : +0+2352 bash-2.04# ./tst Visible: 1280x1024 Virtual: 1280x1632 BPP : 8 Offset : +0+2392 Up to the point where it goes wrong: bash-2.04# ./tst Visible: 1280x1024 Virtual: 1280x1632 BPP : 8 Offset : +0+528 bash-2.04# ./tst Visible: 1280x1024 Virtual: 1280x1632 BPP : 8 Offset : +0+568 bash-2.04# ./tst Visible: 1280x1024 <--- this is the last line on the screen Virtual: 1280x1632 BPP : 8 Offset : +0+608 bash-2.04# So it looks like something isn't limiting the yoffset in the generic console layer; an xoffset of 2392 when the maximum virtual Y is 1632 is just nonsense. I also noticed an additional problem with fbcon: if I change the resolution using fbset, the change occurs, except I end up with corrupted mess on the screen (the reminents of the original display.) The shell prompt is nowhere to be seen. Hitting ^L clears the screen and then the shell prompt is visiable. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
