Ah, it seems we forget to sync the initial cursor position with the hardware cursor if we don't use syscons as the kernel console.

Let me know if the patch solves your issue. --=20 Ed Schouten WWW: http://80386.nl/ --MLcyhLwX/7AHNQNx Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkmAyqgACgkQ52SDGA2eCwXmHACfcOVXAjQ1AaAT9uEHPrDNZ57U SU4An12TCJjYGBmVnTDaQwy1Kkl6xa80 =5kXD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --MLcyhLwX/7AHNQNx--
