2.1.129 ? MatroxFB ? Display Corruption

I am using 2.1.129, with the Matrox FB drivers. I pass the following
string on boot:
' video=matrox:depth:16' (This is my first expiriment with color
depth)

I have 8,16,24, & 32 packed pixel depths compiled in, and I just thought
that I woudl test it. I have not exactly figured out what does it, but
_often_ when I switch VT's, It will present me with skewed chars all
over the place, and occasionally something from another vt that is
currently displayed. Usually it appears that we are looking at a
virtual screen wider than 80x25, I am looking at a picture of the
center, and getting little peices of several vt's. i.e. 160x50, and I
am looking at the 80x25 image in the center. I hit 'enter' 2 or 3 times
and it clears right up. I can send you .config or any other info
needed.

Thanks,
Joshua

I have not tried the default color depth, as the machine can't be
rebooted often. It acts as a CD server, and well, nobody cares, but I
will do more testing when I can.

B.t.w.: Petr, I got another matrox *grin*
