Hallo, I know that I reported this problem a few weeks ago, but I didn't had time to read the answer. Sorry, but I was not subscripted. Michael Dänzer asked that time:

Sadly, the text console becomes also black and no text is shown anymore. I tried every combination of "ShadowFB", "UseFBDev" and "NoAccel" option but no success. The framebuffer server of 3.3.6 works fine. I had some problems with the text acceleration of this card. When scrolling, the lines allways got corrupted. This has gone away after I added the "noaccel" option to the kernel boot line. I read that serveral people had reported that the GD5446 doesn't run under 4.2.0 (even on ia32). May this should be noted somewhere ... Attached is the logoutput of XFree86. Greetings Marc
