Ok, no problem, this dont seems as a serious issue so I can live with that.

I'm booting kernels with the " vga=771"  option. If I remeber well this is 
800x600 with 16bpp. However with this same settings the slowness in scrolling 
up dont happens with the latest 2.5 kernels
If you want more info just drop me a mail.

I saw it but I was busy finsihing the fbdev changes that are about to go
in. I also have this chipset so I plan to track down the bug now that I
have finished my work.

What color depth? Acceleration only works for 8 and 16 bpp modes :-(

[BUG][neofb]2.5.4[0-3]

[Frederik Nosi]

I have a DELL Latitude CPi D233SP. With kernels from 2.5.40 to 2.5.43 using 
neofb during shutdown I get an Oops:

Danger danger! Oopsen imminent
MTRR setting reg 2

This is the second time I'm reporting this, the first time I CC'ed the 
mantainer too without results. Here is the link to my previous posting:

http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-39/1108.html

With the 2.4.19/20-pre-last kernels scrolling up in the console is very slow 
using the neofb driver as I've wrote in my previous posting.
