I am getting serious screen corruption (text mode, no fbdev) on a P100
running 2.2.13 with an ATI graphics card (PCI). It sometimes looks like the
"autumn" virus in DOS where letters would fall to the bottom of the screen,
but more random. =;)
This happens primarily when I switch consoles. Going from and to tty12
(syslog) a couple times makes the log all but unreadable. Noticeably, same
characters get replaced by the same "wrong" chars (but not all of them get
replaced at all).
When I reset the screen (e.g. "reset" or just shift-pgup a couple times)
the letters change back to normal, but only for a short time. NOthing
happens though without me pressing a key.
I'd appreciate any answers. "get a new gfx card" is probably one of them
but I'd like to know WHY this is caused... =;)
