RE: radeonfb: strange blue lines after 'setterm -inversescreen on'

Just a guess... I'm not in 2.6, but it looks like the math to do the
inverse screen is only using 24 bits, not 32. What is it like in 24bpp?
Visually:
*** (inverse mask)
aRGB = 00 00 00 FF
 ^^^ (normal mask)
So it looks like there may be some 24/32 bit shifting going awry when
-inversescreen is set.

Dunno.

Subject: [Linux-fbdev-users] radeonfb: strange blue lines after 'setterm
-inversescreen on'

If I boot linux-2.6.5, with a radeonfb framebuffer 1600x1200-32@75, I
get white letters on a black background. Fine. If I issue the command
setterm -inversescreen on, I get black letters on a white background.

So far so good.

Now if I press enter, I get a new line with black letters on a white
background, but everything after the cursor is blue.

Switching consoles (alt-f2, alt-f1) removes the blue line.
Issuing 'clear' gives an entire blue screen after the cursor (so a small
part, the prompt, stays black-on-white).

This is with a radeon 9000 and with a radeon 7000, so it must be
something in general. Incidentally, blue is also the color the overscan
area gets.

This has been happening on all 2.6.x kernels going back months.

Is there something obvious I can check? A newer and better radeonfb
driver to download somewhere?

Thanks,
Jurriaan
