Weird console behaviour w/Britelite

[Henry Luciano <cuncator@mote.org>]

Hello all,
  I've installed debian on an RDI Britelite and recompiled a kernel (2.2.12)
that supports the cgRDI framebuffer which drives the LCD (essentially a cg3 from
what I understand).  However, the penguin icon that pops up looks corrupted, and
until I switch to a virtual console and back, the top five lines don't scroll. 
I can clear the screen okay, but the top five lines still won't scroll
afterwards.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
