You probably have VGA console enabled. You should disable it and do a clan rebuild of the kernel (backup your .config, make mrproper, restore the .config and rebuild) This is a known bug with the console code, I beleive someone will finally submit the proper patch :) >furthermore, a single left click on the screen gives me a nice caracter >representing a smilly face. Same bug. The attribute/text bytes of the console buffer gets flipped due to some endian crazyness. > what happens, I need 2.4.6 for sleep support and airport support It should work if you don't enable support for VGA console. I'll see if I can put my hand on a definitive fix and submit it. Ben.
