Same behavior here with Voodoo 3 2000 PCI. I just quickly switch back to X and back to the console to get the font right, it'll mess up a character or two only quite rarely though, at most 10% of the times when I switch. I'm not even sure it happened yet since I upgraded to XFree86 4.4.0, but I'm not 100% positive on this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
