Bug#420582: atyfb: text mode console slightly broken

[Manuel Tobias Schiller <mala@hinterbergen.de>]

Hi Moritz,

I'm at CERN during this week, so I don't have access to the computer in
question, and I'm busy this weekend, so I am certain that I can not check
this out before next week. Sorry that I have to delay things a little.

Cheers,

Manuel
