Hi,
I'm mailing to inform you of a possible bug in the vesa framebuffer module which has been appearing in the kernel since 2.5.51. I posted at the [email protected] mailinglist but wasn't able to get feedback so I'm directing it directly to the developers of the framebuffer layer and to you specifically since you were involved with most of the changes in 2.5.51.

I have attached grabbed framebuffer distortion pics (png) since I think those speak clearer than my previous attempts to put the problem into words through the mailing list.
After starting tuxcard or the program "fracplanet" (creates a 3d model of a planet) and possibly others, my screen looks exactly the same as you can see on the screen shots of S Ait-Kassi. Beside this, random pixels still appearing.
My Hardware:
CPU: AMD 2800+
Graphic card: Radeon 7000 (with 64 Mb RAM)
Motherboard: MSI KT4V
Chipset: KT400
PS: I got several tips already and they made it a little bit better, but it's still not ok.
