Bug#421775: linux-2.6: Quirky console
Package: linux-2.6
Severity: normal
When viewing a lot of text is output on the console (cat /var/log/syslog), the
cursor ends up "below" the visible area, together with the last lines of text.
The visible area will still be scrolled upward appropriately as more
text is entered. Switching VT back and forth will correct the problem.
I'm using fbcon on nvidiafb.
