:I've installed dfly using the kvm/qemu emulator and I'm seeing :strange corruption of the console screen at times. : :Some lines of text will have every other character blacked out, :and some lines display perfectly. Does this sound like some sort :of confusion between ascii and utf-8, perhaps? That's the only :thing I can think of. : :One notable clue is that dfly and freebsd are the only systems I :have this problem with. OpenBSD, NetBSD and linux work correctly, :so I'm hoping someone may know what code dfly and fbsd use that :would account for the problem. : :Thanks for any hints.
They are likely trying to emulate VESA modes and getting confused. I'm pretty sure qemu has command line options that allow you to use a 'serial' console, or options to manipulate the console mode to something more compatible. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com>
