Hi

Worked on 2.6.10-rc2. With 2.6.11 during boot upon switching to fb, text 
becomes orange, penguins look sick (not sharp). X starts and runs normal 
(doesn't use fb), switching to vt not possible any more. Disabling 
fb-console in kernel config fixes VTs. Reverting pm2fb.c fixes the 
problem.

Guennadi, could you please confirm that

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.12-rc1/2.6.12-rc1-mm1/broken-out/pm2fb-x-and-vt-switching-crash-fix.patch

fixes this one?

Thanks.
