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. (I've filed another bug about vt switching problems with this setup.) I belive the screen res in this setup is 80x30. At least that's what the dmesg says, I did not bother to count. I am using the cdebconf newt frontend of course. If cdebconf is asked to display the hw-detect/not_included message, with MODULE SUBSTed to "eepro100" and CARDNAME to "Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100]", then I get some minor display corruption. The right border of the dialog box is broken and white "fill" from inside it expands out to the right-hand side of the screen. I'd guess that cdebconf is not calculating the width correctly. Note that all the words fit inside the dialog box. I do not see this with other note dialogs though. (This image has hw-detect 0.44 on it.) -- see shy jo
