I tried the patch with vgacon. No problem. Also their is a problem with
set_origin being calling before the VT switch hook for the driver. It
should be:
if (redraw) {
if (sw->con_switch(vc_cons[currcons].d) && vcmode != KD_GRAPHICS)
set_origin(currcons);
sw->con_set_palette(vc_cons[currcons].d, color_table);
/* Update the screen contents */
do_update_region(currcons, origin, screenbuf_size/2);
}
I tried this patch with vgacon and matroxfb driver and it worked like a
charm.
