Hi!
This patch a bug in the VT switching code in redraw_screen in console.c.
For most video cards you need to see the color palette after you set the
video mode. For fbdev drivers the con_switch hook changes the video mode
and with most of these video cards the way the palette is set depends on
the current video mode. Please test this patch and report the results.
Thank you.
Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
