From b6e8f00fcd56b426371334d722d1f3fb251b7290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: izumi Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 04:05:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix the graphic corruption issue on IA64 machines VGA console driver can misunderstand the current mode(Text/Graphic) under "disable console blanking" setting. When "disable console blank" is set (blankinterval=0), "do_unblank_screen()" function returns without changing "blank_state", and when "blank_state" is "blank_off", "do_blank_screen() function returns without invoking sw->con_blank() function. That's why VGA console driver can misunderstand the current mode. Signed-off-by: Nobuhiro Tachino Signed-off-by: Taku Izumi Cc: "Antonino A.
