On G45 some low res modes (800x600 and 1024x768) produce a blank screen when the display plane is enabled with with cursor plane off. Experiments showed that this issue occurred when the following conditions were met: a. a previous mode had the cursor plane enabled (Xserver). b. this mode or the previous one was using self refresh. (Thus the problem was only seen with low res modes). The screens lit up as soon as the cursor plane got enabled. Therefore the blank screen occurred only in console mode, not when running an Xserver. It also seemed to be necessary to disable self refresh while briefly enabling the cursor plane.
