Package: cdebconf Version: 0.46 Severity: normal I booted my sister Anna's computer, a old VA linux tower machine (full HW data on request), using the d-i bootfloppy and root floppy set, built by myself today. This included the 2.4.22 kernel, and the framebuffer drivers. The vga16fb driver was loaded and I got a nice display. So far so good. Then I switched to vc 2 to open a shell. Then back to vc #1 where main-menu was displayed. When I switch back though, I see whatever was on the previous vc (the shell prompt) and not cdebconf. If I hit tab then it draws buttons over top of this screen; if I hit enter then the screen is restored as cdebconf displays the next question. ctrl-l also redraws the screen except oddly, for the last line. I don't see similar artifacts when switching between other vc's (eg, 2 and 4), so this seems to have something to do with cdebconf, which is why I filed the bug here. I'd not be suprised if the real bug is deeper down, in either the kernel itself, or the slang library. -- see shy jo
