As for the white background that is strange. > This happens for me too (white background that goes away when there eventually is text that hits that area and overwrites it). 2.5.67 + extra stuff from bk + pnp + fbdev from april 11 with an Intel 8xx integrated card. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82815 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 02) I also have an additional problem, the whole picture jumps slightly up and down all the time, plus I have a thin corruptionline from side to side that walks up and down on the screen. Like an old tv. My lilo.conf append line looks like this: append="video=i810fb:xres:1024,yres:768,bpp:16,hsync1:30,hsync2:82, \ vsync1:50,vsync2:75,accel" I've tried several different modes but they all appear to give about the same effect. ... and I'm using a TFT screen (ViewSonic ViewPanel VG181), if that matters (not using DVI though). At the same time I installed the 2.5 kernel I also upgraded to XFree86 4.2.1 (from 4.1, the default in debian woody) and the exact same behaviour happened in X too (jumping slightly up and down, thin line of corruption and I couldn't get the xvideo extension to show anything but a blue screen in programs that used xv. [mplayer]). It all went away when I upgraded to XFree86 4.3. Don't know if that'll help you any but I thought it's better to mention it all. I'll try a new kernel (with a newer fbdev patch) as soon as the dust settles. If you want me to try out any special patch or kernel version tell me and I'll do it as soon as I can.
