* my matrox framebuffer has never had this problem, so the 'general'
routines in fbcon.c should be OK. Also, I don't remember this from tdfx
(Voodoo 4500) framebuffer testing.

At the moment, I only have Ati and Matrox cards, Ati has the problem,
Matrox doesn't. I also tested with a 8x16 font, instead of my regular
12x22 font, but that didn't make any difference.
