Is it an issue of transferring what was written to the display in raw mode to the FB? The 2.4 radeonfb driver does not have this issue. This is one of the last things on my 2.5 wishlist for me, I'll die a happy man if you can fix it :) -Josh --=20 "Notice that, written there, rather legibly, in the Baroque style common=20 to New York subway wall writers, was, uhm... was the old familiar=20 suggestion.
