Subject: [PATCH 2.6.19 2/6] tgafb: Fix copying overlapping areas

 The direction of copying in the copyarea functions is selected 
incorrectly, resulting in corruption.  This is a fix.

Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@...ux-mips.org>
---

 It looks like these functions are not used by the console code as image 
blitting is preferred for scrolling and hence the bug has escaped 
unnoticed for so long.  Still it is not an excuse for these functions to 
be wrong.

 Please apply.
