Framebuffer oddness in 2.5.50
Something really odd just happened. I was on console, and hit alt-f7, which flipped me back to X.
There were small blinking parts of the screen, which I think was actually the fb cursor, but it was sort of skewed across the screen. I could click in windows, but when I typed, nothing would appear. I pressed alt-ctrl-f1, and got back to the console, where everything I had just typed (whilst I thought I was in X) was.
Totally wierd, and try as I might, I can't reproduce it at will.
Nvidia graphic card (no binary crap loaded), vesafb.

That is totally weird. Is with my latest patches for the standard 2.5.50 tree or just a vanilla tree?
