Do you see the problem with any kernel *without* this patch? What's your kernel command line? Does the problem go away if you remove all parameters on the command line? If framebuffer console is enabled, could you try without it? The problem could be related to a conflict between X and the framebuffer console. > Also The black rectangles are only shown when in X.

However, I would expect big X breakage in case of a bug in the kernel, not such a "tiny" rendering artefact. If the bug occurs with 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 but not in 2.6.18, it would be very good to locate where it exactly appeared. I mean, try with 2.6.19, and then try 2.6.18-rcX or 2.6.19-rcY, and then find the exactly git commit. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
