I sent it a few times to linux-kernel and at least one to linux-fbdev-devel, but haven't seen any comments - and this annoying changing margins colour seems to be still there in 2.6.4 (at least on tdfxfb). -- Jakub Bogusz http://cyber.cs.net.pl/~qboosh/

What happens on `reverse video' (i.e. black on white, like Sun) graphics cards?
In that case the overscan color is white.

Uhm. What is palette entry for this white? Or, more generally, how to find (palette colour number of) overscan colour for current console? Video erase character colour is not proper one as it may be different even from background colour at the moment of vt switch. -- Jakub Bogusz http://cyber.cs.net.pl/~qboosh/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

0, on pseudocolor displays. So probably it's OK.

There's no standardized way for that. So it may depend on the driver. I know
ATI Mach64 has a special register for the overscan color, which is always set
to black, IIRC.
