Hello,

I found out very buggy 3DFx framebuffer support :(

when I select nothing when console bootings, I got white background under
Tux, rolling up with black background of text. Then everything under Tux has
black background and white text, but there, where is tux icon everything on
the right side of the icon has still white background

when I select in lilo
append="video=tdfx:1024x768-24@75"

my console gets screws up and I can't see anything under it. X windows but
works.

When I boot computer without append and then call it with fbset -a
1024x768-75 things are the same ;( and I still can select Xwindows with alt+f7

Please can anybody fix this?

Linux 2.4.20 vanilla, gcc 3.0.4, Debian woody 3.0r1, 3DFx card, P3 733
Coppermine

I don't get linux-kernel, so please if anybody will fix that, send me patches
to test, coz some things were made in 2.4.19 and then thing goes worser then
before. I wanna comunicate with developers to solve this, coz this bug is in
kernel for a long time nonfixed :((
