Disabling framebuffer is the only only way I've been able to "solve"
this. Like you mention, I've seen other people post about the problem,
but no solutions.
I've got a Matrox G400 video card. I have the problem with the Matrox fb
driver in the kernel, the plain VGA driver, I've tried Matrox's modules,
and kernels up to 2.4.2. I did not have the problem with 2.2.xx, nor
have I tried it with kernel 2.4.3-acXX.
