The VSA CGA/EGA/VGA text emulation seems to be rather awful and has
lots of bugs. Compile in the VESA framebuffer support in your Linux
kernel and add vga=785 (see linux/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt) to
your kernel command line. It's a choice of:

Linux kernel frobs the text console -> buggy VSA emulation -> framebuffer

or

Linux kernel frobs the framebuffer directly

Guess which works better? *grin*
