Hi;

I saw one of the bugzilla posts, although I'm not experiencing the
exact same thing. The last version of the kernel did not cause the
problem. Actually, I'm not sure if it is the kernel in the first
place, but that was the update that changed things for me. Now, mc's
interface is corrupted, but regular text like what one sees when
booting with the splash parameter removed is fine, even with vga=791.
I'm not sure this is a framebuffer thing since one of my machines uses
the i810 chip which I've read doesn't support framebuffer anyway.

So, I removed quiet and splash and vga= from my kernel parameters, same problem.

Which is the bugzilla bug that this is reported under, I'd like to follow it.

Thanks,
