I have 2 machines that are running 2.5.56 beatifully, except for fbcon
and ISDN.
The laptop runs ATI radeon - when I attempt to boot with radeonfb+fbcon
statically linked it wraps the pixels as if the driver is using 1410
pixels per row while the hardware only has 1400
The desktop has a Vodoo 3500 AGP - when I attempt to boot with
3dfxfb+fbcon statically it freezes early in the boot, probably right
when the fb stuff starts.
I'm running 2.5.56 on both, so any tests, on any further info, just let
me know.
I'm not on the list, so please CC me on any replies.
