fb_pan_display() does not test for YWRAP.  Can you try this?

This doesn't appear to solve the ywrap problem - I still get
places where the screen doesn't scroll.  I decided to write a
small program to dump out the contents of fb_var_screeninfo, and
where stuff goes horribly wrong:

bash-2.04# ./tst
Visible: 1280x1024
Virtual: 1280x1632
BPP    : 8
Offset : +0+2352
bash-2.04# ./tst
Visible: 1280x1024
Virtual: 1280x1632
BPP    : 8
Offset : +0+2392

Up to the point where it goes wrong:

bash-2.04# ./tst
Visible: 1280x1024
Virtual: 1280x1632
BPP    : 8
Offset : +0+528
bash-2.04# ./tst
Visible: 1280x1024
Virtual: 1280x1632
BPP    : 8
Offset : +0+568
bash-2.04# ./tst
Visible: 1280x1024	<--- this is the last line on the screen
Virtual: 1280x1632
BPP    : 8
Offset : +0+608
bash-2.04#

So it looks like something isn't limiting the yoffset in the generic
console layer; an xoffset of 2392 when the maximum virtual Y is 1632
is just nonsense.

It might be a problem with display.vrows not being updated during
fbcon_resize().  I think I sent James some patches before that added
that.

Can you try adding this at the end of fbcon_resize() in
drivers/video/fbcon.c?

p->vrows = info->var.yres_virtual/vc->vc_font.height;

PS:  I never encountered your problem, but I don't have hardware that's
capable of ywrap.
