using XFree86 4.5.0 on a Debian 3.1/testing system, video card is a i740/agp with 8mb ram,
the problem is, when switch back to virtual console by pressing CTRL-ALT-Fn, text on virtual terminals are no longer readable,
all characters on screen becomes a colored block(red), or just gone(black), or something very strange.
If you can build from source, please try the attached patch.
its still there.
after applied patch, i run 'make' in build dir, then 'make install'.(keep previous build, i think this is enough, isn't it? or should i run 'make World' again?)
It should have been sufficient to `make install` under xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i740.
rebuild with gcc-3.3 ok. could be problem of gcc-4.
Is this true without the patch?
