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.

I can't reproduce it here.  But can you try to reproduce it with vgacon
and with fbcon.

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

You may. (Do it under Drivers->Console/Framebuffers) Some prefer bugzilla,
some don't. I don't mind which.

Tony
