I was compiling X11 on my new machine (3.0 BETA, pure ELF) using the
VESA_132x60 mode and the lines were scrolling down the screen when I
noticed that the display slowly shifts.
I mean not the display on the screen but the "starting" column shifts. When
you have a line saying for example :
installing ... in blah
+ foo bar
+
installing ...
...
cc -DCSRG_BASED ...
rm -f ...
cc blah ... ... ... ..... ....
.... .... .....
rm -f ....
and it keeps on shifting. It is not the monitor because when I ^Z the
process, the cursor return to col #0 then when I restart the process, a few
lines later, it will shift again.
It doesn't seem TAB ligned, sometimes it shifts for 3 characters, then 7
and so on.
vga0: <Tseng Labs ET6000 graphics accelerator> rev 0x30 int a irq 11 on pci0.17.0
Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
VESA: v2.0, 2048k memory, flags:0x0, mode table:0xf0216a28 (100008c)
VESA: STB Lightspeed 128 Video (ET6000)
stty -a shows the right size (132x60).
It is quite funny to watch but it is still a bug :-)
