next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hello,
I've searched the bug database and Googled for the following problem,
to no avail, but hopefully querying -stable will help.
I am experiencing garbled text consoles on 5.4-RELEASE (sorry, no
prior data). All sc consoles have repeated/missing/overwritten
characters across the entire screen. Furthermore, as I move the
mouse cursor across the screen, the incorrect display continually
changes in the rows and columns near the cursor. However, the mouse
is not a necessary component of the dyslexic (no offense intended,
I can certainly believe this is just what dyslexia sufferers would
perceive in their daily life) display -- a kernel configured without
mouse support at all still exhibits the problem.
The problem occurs as soon as the kernel is handed control from
the loader (the loader has no such problem, for what its worth) --
boot messages and the like are corrupted with the duplicated and
missing and overwritten characters. This is an important point,
I believe, as corruption occurs even before the APs are launched.
As an example, here's what ttyv0 looks like at this moment:

The most relevant details that I can think of that might matter are
that the machine is quad-processor (4x500MHz PIII Xeon), and has
two seperate VGA controllers. The onboard VGA controller is a
Cirrus Logic GD 5480, but is (mostly?) disabled by the BIOS when
it detects the Matrox G400 card (dual-head configuration).
The X server doesn't encounter any problem, and configuring with
option VGA_SLOW_IOACCESS doesn't help.
To me this smells like a multiprocessor problem (e.g. we see some
output repeated 4 times in the example above, but never more than 4).
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
dmesg output and an lspci -v output are included below. Note that
the Matrox card is identified as AGP in the lspci output, even
though it is actually a PCI card. *shrug*
