            Bug ID: 261928
           Summary: drm-kmod / vt newcons: Loading the drm-kmod driver
                    creates a gap in the vt newcons scrollback buffer
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sblachmann@gmail.com

When the drm-kmod driver (i915kms, radeonkms, amdgpu) is kldloaded, a big g=
ap
in the vt newcons scrollback buffer is being created.

There are almost a screenful of blank lines being inserted when the screen =
is
being resized.
This does not create an impression of careful programming, in particular wh=
en
also taking into consideration that old output is being overwritten at
(possibly random) positions (see PR261641:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D261641 ).

Instead of this behavior, the output should just be continued where the cur=
rent
printing position in the console was before loading the drm-kmod driver.
