Date: 29 Sep 2011 07:11:37 -0400 From: "George Spelvin" <linux@...izon.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux@...izon.com Subject: Has anyone noticed text console breakage since 3.0? I'm currently running 3.1-rc7, and for a while, whenever I've been running a text console, I've noticed odd dropouts and glitches. It used to be mostly ANSI control sequences for fancy graphics. welcome2l's splach screen would get some rows shifted left as characters were skipped, and "aptitude -u" (which shows multiple animated progresss bars) would suffer a lot. But now it's getting to the point that just typing this e-mail in black & white is experiencing multiple corruptions. What's on my screen is "the poin hthat" and "black w white". I expect turning off the "ruler" feature in vim which maintains a cursor position display at the bottom of the screen will reduce the problem, but I've seen problems at the shell prompt. This is a quad-core Phenom processor, running a 64-bit kernel on ECC memory. The hardware has been stable for years. The problem is specifically with a *text* console, not a frame buffer console. If nobody's sure, I can take a few hours and do a bisect run, but it seems hard to believe I'm the only person seeing this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
