Re: Console weirdness

[Jan Dittmer]

Using patches from 
"http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz" as suggested by 
Siim Vahtre, oops goes away, but the other problems persist. The console 
is even worse. Seeing a cursor blinking to the lower left, but the rest 
of the screen is pretty colorful ;-).
Any specific kernel version I can try out? But I think rivafb was broken 
until recently...
