Hi James,
here is a patch for vgacon.c could you please check it?
1) removes explicit 0 initialisation of statics
2) removes an apparently unnecesary line in vgacon_scroll:
as I see it scr_end is computed anyway after the if statement so
no need to put it on the else branch.
Jani.

Okay. Thank for for posting it not as a attachment.

I've checked that and it works both on 2.2 and 2.4 but another test won't
hurt :-)

No problems here :-)
