Hrm... weird... could either be some problem with userland trying to change the console font, or maybe some of the old problems with VGA console vs. fbdev ... was your build really clean ? If you backup your .config, do make distclean, restore .config, make oldconfig, and rebuild, does it fix the problem ? If not, try removing VGA console support Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
