Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2008-07-22 12:17:55 UTC
Description of problem:
After starting Xorg, some console font characters become garbled or missing.
Specifically, for example, space becomes a mess and '1', '/' and '-' turn into a
space.
I'll post a screenshot made with my cellphone later.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Switch back to vt1
3. See garbled screen
  
Actual results:

Expected results:
Console should remain unaffected.

Comment 6 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-09-06 21:21:35 UTC
For the record: The hardware (as Xorg.0.log shows) is a

ATI Technologies Inc RV630 [Radeon HD 2600 Series] rev 0

Comment 7 Egor Ushakov 2008-09-19 07:37:23 UTC
Same effect on RV770 (Radeon HD 4850) with xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.1-3.9.20080917git.fc9

Comment 8 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2008-10-29 11:01:30 UTC
For the record, I've rebuild the current rawhide srpm (xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd-1.2.3-1.2.20081014git.fc10) and the problem disappeared.

Comment 9 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-11-29 11:51:46 UTC
Thanks.

Then I'll consider this fixed.
