I removed the  rhgb from /etc/grub but still can

not get to consoles

this is my /etc/grub.conf
[root@pluto mab]# cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after

making changes to this file

# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means

that

#          all kernel and initrd paths are

relative to /boot/, eg.

#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro

root=/dev/hda3

#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)
       root (hd0,0)
       kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro

root=LABEL=/ quiet

       initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img


can not get a prompt at <ctrl><alt><F*>   all I

get is a screen with a

green border from the top left down to the bottom

right

oh well

Can you check to see if this is filed?  If not,
please file it at

Hi
Its been there since FCT1 updates !!!!!
On a Matrox G550 its worse - unusable !!!!

On FC4 full release I replaced all 18 xorg-x11 rpms
with 6.8.2-1.FC3.13 versions before even leaving run level 3 !!!!

The workaround of replacing libvgahw.a worked for me on an Intel 815. Others reported success with the Intel 865G and I believe the Intel 845.

I guess you cannot blame the libvgahw.a file entirely, but it allows the bug to show its wrath on MGA, Intel and a host of other video card types.

I filed this bug as a cross-link between and there was an interesting reply regarding overscan routines and other libraries and workarounds in the drivers that should be discussed. Sunday, according to the person responding to the bug report should be a productive meeting or presentation.

Bug 2991 was one that I used to cross-reference this library pulling in problems with the X server and various drivers.

I don't know a lot about code and such, but maybe this will lead into some direction where improvements can be made.
