Hmm, I'm getting the same problem with my SPARCstation 5 (Turbo GX+).
It was okay with 2.4 kernels, and it doesn't affect the OBP.
The other two things I've noticed are that the screen is shifted to the
right relative to its position in 2.4 (and in the OBP), and that pixels
at the extreme right of the framebuffer are drawn in a line extending to
the right-hand edge of the screen and then reappearing on the left-hand
side of the screen.
/proc/cpuinfo says I have a Fujitsu MB86904, which is apparently a
microSPARC II.
The machine's "model" is apparently SUNW,501-2286, which should make it
a SPARCstation 5/70... However, "clock-frequency" is 0x68e7780, which
is 110MHz... (My guess is that its CPU was upgraded at some point.)
