Couple of questions: I'm using Debian Woody on a PowerMac 6500. Not using X (only 32 MB RAM) just the console. I notice that occasionally the characters get "speckled" or distorted particularly when I'm editing text. Refreshing (^L) restores it. Is this related to the video acceleration and if so can I stop it by providing a video parameter to the kernel? Can I still keep my 128x48 screen in that case?
Also I've had the machine lock up once or twice usually when I was editing text (not just the console -- could not ssh into it either). Could this be related to the video problem? Allan
