Well, not quite. The problem is still there. I have checked it a little more closely though, and noticed that it isn't always there. Some virtual consoles have the problem and some don't. It seems like before I log in on a console, there's no problem. And sometimes even after logging in it is OK, but usually after I log in the green and orange framebuffer mousepointer starts.
This is Red Hat 8.0, by the way. I think it does something to the console when I log in, the screen usually blanks for a second after I enter the login password and before the bash prompt appears.

I found the sisfb web page and it is: video=sisfb:mode:1024x768x24
and that works, but only at 60 HZ. I haven't tried putting a "@75" on the end yet...
Thanks again!
