Hi all,

I just committed a patch to stifb in kernel 2.6.15-rc6-pa1.
Could you please try this one? It works for me... :-)

Stuart's hint with starting X and then switching back again pointed to a bug in the palette handling of stifb, which I hopefully fixed now.

X11 still only shows me 3/4 of the screen, but this seems to be another problem....
