Garbage on edge of screen w/ Ultra 10

[penquissciguy]

I have recently installed Gentoo on an Ultra 10. I'm currently using the built-in framebuffer. The issue I'm having is that parts of characters are being left on the right-hand side of the screen when it updates. When I run something like menuconfig, the screen seems to get partially overwritten in places, along with the edge garbage. Is this normal, or am I missing something?

Wow, tons of people out there with U10s and no one able to tell me if this is normal.

I tried upgrading from the 2.4.31 kernel to 2.6.12, with no difference in the corruption I see at the right edge of the screen. This is with the Mach64 based buffer built onto the mainboard of the Ultra 10. This is only at the Linux console, as I don't have a mouse yet to run X with. Parts of characters are left when long lines wrap (during a compile, etc.). I'd really appreciate an answer to this if someone could spare the time.

I'm seeing the same thing, but not on a U10.

However, if you press Alt-F2 (assuming you're not already on the F2 terminal) and then return to the original terminal... the garbage is gone and stays gone until you close menuconfig and reopen it.
