No matter what text screen size i set on both these machines (using resizecons) the shell line where i type in commands is past the bottom of the screen, invisible. Another box connected to the same KVM displays fine, and it runs 2.6.22-rc7. i also have a box running kernel 2.6.23-rc5 where the console display is fine: it uses a GeForce 8500 PCI-E vidcard driving a LCD screen. - 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/
