Hi, to get a better idea with which versions of the newport the console corruption happens I'd like to ask everybody with a newport to send me: - The version numbers of the different chips on the newport(as printed by the kernel - dmesg) - if it is the 8bpp or 24bpp version - the version number of XFree86 with which console corruption[1] happens(if any) - the version number of XFree86 with which *no* console corruption happens(if any) So even if everything is fine for you, please drop me a short notice. Please do this in private mail, since I don't want to pollute this ml with(for other people) uninteresting stuff. Thanks, -- Guido [1] completely black console with only a blinking cursor
