Hi All !

Loading fonts into VESA FB console not so good now...,I look at vt.c and found this code:

case PIO_FONTX:
if (!perm)
return -EPERM;
op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET;
op.flags = 0;
op.width = 8;
op.height = cfdarg.charheight;
op.charcount = cfdarg.charcount;
op.data = cfdarg.chardata;
return con_font_op(fg_console, &op);

Is this correct ? Or this code must be something like this :

case PIO_FONTX:
if (!perm)
return -EPERM;
op.op = KD_FONT_OP_SET;
op.flags = 0;
op.width = 8;
op.height = cfdarg.charheight;
op.charcount = cfdarg.charcount;
op.data = cfdarg.chardata;
for ( i = 0 ; i < MAX_NR_CONSOLES ; i++ )
{
if (vc_cons_allocated(i))
{
rc = con_font_op(i,&op);
/* printk( "KAD: i=%d rc=%d\n",i,rc ); */
if ( rc < 0 ) break;
}
}
return rc;

I tested this variant but it also not fully correct. Who can correct this?
