Created attachment 41172 [details] System information As requested in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605716 I'm forwarding a bug report on xserver-xorg-video-mga: Original Message: [...] Package: xserver-xorg-video-mga Version: 1:1.4.11.dfsg-4 [...] Hello, we are using matroxfb and xserver-xorg-video-mga. After booting (with grub2 and video=matroxfb in the grub commandline) and switching automatically to tty7 (kdm) everything looks well. But after switching to tty1-6 you can see the text of the login prompt but you can't see what you type in, or you can see the login prompt shifted multiple times (including see/guess what you type in). This bug was also reported on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/581466 There are several workarounds (perhaps it helps the upstream to find the bug) (sorted: from bad to not so bad): - only use programs with X in it (i.e. xdm with xterm), not K or G applications - disable DRI on the xserver - load the framebuffer after booting (using fbset) - use video=matroxfb:noaccel on the grub commandline Best regards, Manuel Hachtkemper
