An 'echo foo > /dev/tty42' while X runs will screw the color palette, if tty42 wasnt in use before. Tested on ibook G3 and G4. This will happen with rage128 and radeonfb in 2.6.5 and later, X version is 4.3.99. X runs usually with a different color depth than the kernel framebuffer console. How can this be fixed? tty open should not touch the hardware if the tty is not active.I tried the above and nothing happens to X. My setup is X86 nVidia AGP on rivafb linux-2.6.8-rc4-mm1.Do you have 'Option "usefbdev" "true"' in our XF86Config?
No. I tried that option before but it produces a segfault.
