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?

Marc.
