| |
Hi, I just installed 2.1.112 with devfs-47 and the devfs-framebuffer patch, plus the VCC patch written by smilax@mindmeld.dyn.ml.org. I just experienced a rather interesting problem on tty2: In lynx, when entering a URL, if I hit the UP arrow key, it cancels the URL entry instead of going to the previously entered URL--a keyboard problem most likely. Furthermore, when I exited lynx I switched to tty1 and then back to tty2 real quick--now I have what was the upper-half of tty1 at the bottom of tty2. tty1 is okay, but that chunk of what-was tty1 is still there, PLUS tty2's screen memory is pushed up half-a-screen -- I can only view and scroll the first upper part of tty2. Even when entering an SVGAlib application, coming back I still can only scroll the top half of the screen with the bottom half [full of colorful gibberish due SVGAlib using that video RAM for its own graphics]
S3 803/805 VGA chipset. Haven't been able to use VESAfb though, although I think that's because it doesn't support VESA 2.0 extensions.
