Besides the hunks posted recently, I encountered three problems/bugs:
a) Although your patch fixes the FB oddness for me, it makes booting
without using framebuffer fail, IOW the kernel hangs:
Video mode to be used for restore is f00
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable)
b) After returning from blanking mode (via APM) to normal mode, no
character is drawn. Let's assume I'm using VIM when that happens:
After putting any character to return from blank mode, the screen stays
blanked apart from the cursor that _is_ shown. Now I'm able to move
the cursor, and when the cursor encounters a character, this char
is drawn (and keeps drawn). Though when I press Ctrl-L or when I go one line
above to the current top-line (i.e. by forcing a redrawn), the
whole screen is drawn properly.
c) instruction: | produces:
======================|==================
1. typing abc def | $ abc def
| ^ (<- cursor)
2. going three chars | $ abc def
ro the left | ^
3. pressing backspace | $ abcddef
| ^
4. pressing enter | -bash: abcdef: command not found
|
HTH.
