I have a problem of the screen text being garbage after I logout. A quick setfont fixes the issue, but I humbly request a proper fix. This has happened since Redhat 9 days and still happens using xorg-x11-drv-i128-1.1.0.2-1 on xorg 0.99.2. I am using rawhide from fedora core. Thanks, Jason
please add Option "debug" "on" to the Device section for your card, and attach the X log that generates after you've logged out.
Created attachment 3847 [details] xorg log with debug on here is the requested xorg log with option "debug" "on"
sorry, this is icky, but it's not severe enough to block 7.0.

I've had the same problem for the longest time but was able to fix it with the following fix/workaround: 1. Make sure vesafb is compiled into the kernel (or available as a module). 2. Add vga=792 and append="video=vesafb:pmipal,mtrr" to your lilo.conf (or equivalent) right below the "image=/vmlinuz" line as shown below and rerun lilo: image=/vmlinuz vga=792 append="video=vesafb:pmipal,mtrr" I found the "vga=792" through experimentation, it puts the 1600SW into 1600x1024 graphics mode immediately prior to bootup and uses the kernel's bitmap graphics instead of the built-in VGA card fonts. This eliminates the font corruption and also provides much nicer fonts for the console mode. It also makes switching from X to console mode and back faster because the monitor stays in the same 1600x1024 mode all the time.
Thank you for the update. I run my monitor at 800x512 so vga=792 will not work from me. I have not found a vga= line for 800x512. I open a bugzilla here some time ago requesting it be added, but it was closed saying they are working on the vga subsystem. I might ended biting the bullet and switching to 1600x1024, but I need a larger font (especially during boot).
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
Is this still an issue?
I upgraded my system about 2 years ago so I don't have that equipment anymore.
Closing as wontfix.
