Created attachment 1679 [details] [review] Described patch The above patch is enabled by default. It is expected to cause problems when a font with a different hight than the BIOS font is loaded. This goes away once the kernel gets fixed. To build without this new feature please add: #define DoOSFontRestore NO to your host.def. Committed. Leaving open for further discussion. Created attachment 1692 [details] [review] Check kernel version Alan Cox has requested on LKML that we should check the OS version to see if the kernel is able to support this feature. The attached patch implements this. It checks if the release number is < 2.6.11 and doesn't attempt to do font save/restore thru the kernel. Kernel version check committed. Can we close this meanwhile as FIXED? I intentionally left it open just in case problems arise. As no problems seems to have risen over the last year I'm closing this bug. |
