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.
