Hello, My system has a rather odd bug - when, after beeing idle for some time, it tries to blank the console, it leaves untouched those characters which are in brighter colours. I suppose the buggy code is somewhere around linux/drivers/video/console/vgacon.c, though I might be mistaken. Can somebody give me a hint where to look for details?
