Summary: Heavy text corruption in virtual consoles using DRI Product: DRI Version: unspecified Platform: x86 (IA32) OS/Version: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: General AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org ReportedBy: eblanca76@users.sourceforge.net
I have a clean install of latest ubuntu lucid lynx, I added framebuffer support for g550 (matroxfb) and text in virtual consoles appears corrupted, it is made of random pixels appearing far away from the expected prompt. I can get back to clean text if I switch to xorg (ctrl+f7) then back to the virtual console, but if I type in new text, it appears ugly as usual. The only workaround for this is to disable DRI, then the text appears perfect and no switch is needed. Of course, this way the system cannot support any game. I attach my actual xorg.conf.
My config: ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) 2.6.32-22-generic i686 GNU/Linux with gnome 2.30.2 and xorg X server 1.7.6.
