[Linux-fbdev-devel] Corrupt palette when Xfbdev is launched from Virtual Console

[<Adr...@ta...>]

I am having a problem running Xfbdev when launched from the virtual
console. My problem is that X comes up with the palette set incorrectly.
Examples of this are that the normal default grey dimpled back ground is
displayed in dark blue.
If I boot linux using the serial console and then launch Xfbdev, X comes up
with all the colours correct.

Has anyone seen any problem like this before and knows how I might fix it ?
Anyone have any ideas what may be going wrong ?

Relevant details are :

MIPS platform, 2.4.2 kernel
using clgen framebuffer, 8 bpp, 640x480
Xfbdev compiled from X Windows 4.01, " tiny X " framebuffer server.

If boot with console=ttySx, and run X, X comes up with correct colours /
palette

If boot with, no console defined or console=tty0 and run X. X comes up with
incorrect colours.

Thx
