No.  The machine froze solid. No oops, no sysrq.
The reset button worked.

VESA fbdev did this to me. I have no trouble with neofb. Strange???
I will track it down tonight.

Hm. Are you using a PPC or ix86 box? I will test this tonight.

i386.  Specifically, a pentium II, compiled for pentium II.

Hm. I have that same card and a similar machine.
 

Perhaps. It didn't look like it ended at the bottom of the
screen, but then it might have been panning at the wrong moment.

I have a MDA monitor and card. So I can setup mdacon and turn on 
debugging in fbcon and trace threw it.

2.5.49 without this patch works.  I use devfs & preempt,
the machine is UP and I use gcc-2.95.4 for compiling.
