more kgicon...
Hi,
I wrote yesterday mentioning my difficulties getting kgicon to work;
after more experimenting, I can get a nice black screen in 1bpp mode.
the keyboard is still usable, _as long as I don't run con2fbmap_ .
# cat /proc/fb > fblog at this point gives
0 VGA+
1 KGI
however, if I do a 'con2fbmap 0 1', I stop getting any response from
the keyboard, and the screen stays black.
The computer isn't locked up though, because if I instead
run a command like
# con2fbmap 0 1 ; sleep 2s; con2fbmap 0 0
it works okay. Also, I can
# rmmod kgicon.o ; textmode
and that gets me my text mode back.
Here's a clip from my syslog.
I've cut some lines because I was on DEBUG level3...

so, what's wrong with con2fbmap?
