- 4.8.0 (probably the last XFree86 version ever, for comparison and archival reasons)

[packages/XFree86.git] / XFree86-tdfx-fix-vtswitch-font-corruption.patch

This patch reorders the code in the EnterVT function in the tdfx driver
in an attempt to fix VT switch font corruption problems that are easily
reproduceable, and often reported.  The code is currently untested.  It
may also fix other VTswitch problems as well.
