Its is fbcon. If you play with the low level driver to draw things you
noticed everything is okay. I have to track it down.

Applied. If you look at my patch I attempted to make fbcon_pixmap dynamic
instead of a static memeory area. It oops so I have that code commented
out for now. Actually I applied it when the fix came out rigth away.

This didn't apply well. Only thing missing.

> 3. Various fbcon_accel_cursor() fixes which would have resulted in
> wrong cursor colors or an invisible cursor.

Applied. Worked now :-)
