Hi. I found VESA VGA Graphic console at linux-2.5.31 again. and I was adviced by Petr Vandrovec that forward to linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net =====
I use linux-2.5.30 with VESA VGA Graphic console at slackware-8.1 based environment. when I use emacs( 21.2 ), these situation occured. (I used to boot up with vga=771) (1) # emacs /tmp/test I type a line ( /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 ), and save file. (2) # emacs /tmp/test a line ( /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 ) displayed in emacs frame. (3) I wand to insert few spaces between /sbin/ifconfig and lo. when I type a space, then a line change to a line ( /sbin/ifconfig oo 127.0.0.1 ). I could not edit a line as I want to edit. this situation display only. when I save file and re-read file, results were fine. (4) I boot up PC ( erase VGA option ), I checked this test, everything OK. I checked a same test at linux-2.5.26,28,30 and got a same result. I checked at linux-2.4.19, it is OK( everything work fine with vga=771 ). I thinked VESA VGA Graphic console has bug to display in emacs frame. Before VESA VGA Graphic console occured kernel panic at linux-2.5.14,15. from linux-2.5.16 VESA VGA Graphic console compile and work fine, but Pengin Image did not display at boot up time. is it OK?
