Tony,
	thanks for your patches, they have fixed most of the problems I had.

Try running stty to fix your display.

I can't convince stty to do anything useful for me :
	do I need a specific/patched version ?
	do I need to specify anything except rows cols values ?
	how would I change the colour depth ?
	I have 7 different lines in /etc/fb.modes related to 1024x768@8bpp,
how can I tell stty that I want to use the equivalent of the timing values of
any particular one of these 7 modes ( assuming timings are still relevant ) ?
	what was wrong with fbset which I have to keep for the forseeable
future anyway until 2.6 approaches 2.4 reliability ?

So can you and Jak try the attached patch?  It should prevent VGA
console corruption on insmod and it should eliminate the kobject trace
messages.

Using your 3 recent patches together clears up the green screen problem
and text corruption as well as kobject "badness".

 int __init rivafb_init(void)
 {
-	int err;
-	err = pci_module_init(&rivafb_driver);
-	if (err)
-		return err;
-	pci_register_driver(&rivafb_driver);
-	return 0;
+	return pci_module_init(&rivafb_driver);
 }

This will normally return 1, not 0 as before. Is this intended ?
