No. Somehow the patch from Geert (which apparently was incorporated by
Linus into 109-2) screwed up TGA support. I got Geerts 108b patch to
compile and run after i removed the parts of his patch wrt to memsetw/
memsetw_c_io and DENSE_MEM.

So now the TGA FB is working, but you can brew yourself a cup of coffee
while the screen scrolls. And you can't even switch VC while it is
scrolling. Wasnt there something mentioned about changing the
scrolling method by defining a different SCROLL_* flag?
