           Summary: Creator3D Framebuffer (sparc64) on Sbus/UPA workstation
    Kernel Version: ALL 2.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: jsimmons@infradead.org
         Submitter: mt1@systella.fr


Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: 2.4.34.1
Distribution: Debian/testing
Hardware Environment: U1E/170 with Creator3D (UPA), U2 with creator3D
Software Environment: debian without X on U1E, debian with Xorg on U2
Problem Description: Console is white foreground and blanck background by
default. Sometimes, the screen is cut like this :

N | N | N | N
--+---+---+---
N | G | G | G
--+---+---+---
N | W | W | W
--+---+---+---
N | G | G | G


where N is a 'normal' console, 'G' a 'like grey' console (black and white pixels
like snow), and 'W' a white console (many white pixels). I have tested some
differents Creator3D fb and this trouble only occurs on Sbus/UPA workstation. On
a U60 (PCI/UPA), I never see it.

When I launch Xorg, problem goes away.

Sometimes, on the same configuration, when X is running, console is not usable
because foreground _and_ background are black (and a signal is given by the
framebuffer, screen remains on).

Steps to reproduce: U1 or U2 with 2.6 kernel and Creator3D fb on UPA Slot.
I have tested with Creator3D Rev1.

JKB
