Framebuffer display corruption on 2.6.12

flat view

Hi,

This looks like a userspace issue, but apparently it only appears after upgrading from 2.6.11 to 2.6.12...

Some Gentoo users have reported display corruption when using the framebuffer, easily visible in dialog-based applications. Sample screenshot:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=63264

Although the screenshot shows a framebuffer running on top of gentoo's "framebuffer splash", the same issue exists if you use plain old vesafb with no splash.

The issue has been reproduced in 2.6.13-rc5-mm1.

Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Should I get this reported to the kernel bugzilla?

The original bug URL:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98804

Thanks,
Daniel
