This fixes "margin colour" (colour used to clear margins - e.g. a half of line at the bottom of 100x37 console on 800x600 framebuffer). I don't know what was the intention behind using attr_bgcol_ec() here, but it caused using of background colour of last erase character to clear margins - which definitely isn't what we want... This patch changes margin colour to black (or colour 0 in palette modes). -- Jakub Bogusz --- linux-2.6.0-test2/drivers/video/console/fbcon.c.orig 2003-07-14 05:36:32.000000000 +0200 +++ linux-2.6.0-test2/drivers/video/console/fbcon.c 2003-07-31 00:53:26.000000000 +0200 @@ -502,7 +502,7 @@ unsigned int bs = info->var.yres - bh; struct fb_fillrect region; - region.color = attr_bgcol_ec(bgshift, vc); + region.color = 0; region.rop = ROP_COPY; if (rw && !bottom_only) {
