I just CVSUP'd 2.2.6-STABLE and rebuilt and installed everything, including the new kernel. Suddenly, the local console display tears horribly - rather like something turns sync on and off. It happens when scrolling or changing attributes (like scrolling up and down in Pine, where you're repainting lines in reverse video) or moving around the screen in pico, not 100% of the time, but enough to make it really hard to stay sane. It's like it is turning off sync or changing whenever is processes certain keystrokes (cursor movement, mostly). Running an old and venerable Oak VGA card (tried several monitors in case that was the problem), 486DX2-66, VLB motherboard. I've been running FBSD for some time and have never seen this problem until now. I scanned thru the pcvt code and didn't see any magical new flags or options. -Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
