Jim wanted to try to reproduce this problem with > my fb-geometry / colour settings, but I haven't heard from him since then, FIrst off, so we're all clear, the problem with vt/X switching was definitely a pm2fb bug exposed by chages in fbcon, and is definitely fixed by the above patch. Please apply. As to Guennadi's problem with colours and images, I've been trying to reproduce locally without success, hence silence. My pm2fb-on-Sparc correspondent hasn't seen this either, and I've had no other reports. I have one possible clue, which I'll pursue with Guennadi off-list. -- Jim Hague - jim.hague@acm.org Never trust a computer you can't lift. - 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/
