Created attachment 347533 [details] photo of textmode Description of problem: I have a MacBook of early 2006. And modesetting does not work well yet. Xorg does not work see bug #505536. But there is a small but distracting problem in textmode too. If I do not pass the nomodeset kernelparameter the last line of the screen is blinking in randomly patterns. The blincking is synchronized with the text insert position marker. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@macbook fm]# uname -a Linux macbook 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Wed May 27 17:14:37 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux How reproducible: allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot with modeset enabled and pass a "3" for textmode 2. look at the bottom of the screen (sorry for the bad quality of the photo, it is just to make the issue clearer) Actual results: last line of pixels blinking Expected results: not blincking
I do not have this anymore. So cannot test.
