The difference with me is that I *only* see it when I am using xine (CVS) and the SyncFB video plugin, possibly the Xv video plugin sometimes too. When I kill xine, the regular multicoloured rectangle disappears from the console. Obviously, this isn't something that I would normally notice - I wouldn't have noticed at all if the CVS xine hadn't locked up on me in full-screen mode, forcing me to turn to a console to kill it. A few other things: - since I have about 1.25 GB of RAM, I have enabled a 256 MB AGP aperture. - I am using XFree86 4.2, but with the mga.o module that is native to Linux 2.4.18. I have not installed the Matrox HAL X module. Whatever is causing this console corruption, it doesn't seem to be a VIA bug (in my case, anyway).
