X-Mailer: TBBS/PIMP v3.23 Date: Fri, 06 Jan 95 11:06:08 -0600 Subject: SYSCONS FADE SAVER To: hackers@freebsd.org Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk an update on my earlier bug report. this time the background was more greenish, and the forground text on the screen was still readable. since i'm doing a kernel build, i didn't reboot. as the saver was kicking in again after it messed the screen, it went normal, then faded. so far it hasn't happened again, but no doubt it will. still haven't checked the syscons code, will after the build. i've never had problems with the adapter before [Packard-Bell, HT216-32 Video]. Either the palette/dac is messed, or the pre-fade saved values are getting messed with. i repeat, a reboot IS NOT NEEDED.
