Before we proceed, do you agree that the patch will allow you to change
video modes without disabling DDC support? So this is still a valid
fix?
You're right, I hadn't realized that. I can now access all the sizes
from 640 to 1600, so I would say the fix is valid.
When does your display become snowy? Is the snow constant or does it
only snow when doing heavy text operations, such as scrolling?
The snowy is constant and abundant, and it seems to be independent of
video size (640 through 1600) and screen occupation (single prompt
line to fullscreen mc session) and usage.
I presume that X's nv driver or vesafb does not exhibit this problem?
X's nv gives a very clean display, /unless/ I load nvidiafb before: if
I modprobe nvidiafb (it's a module, and it's blacklisted precisely for
this reason), then the screen is very snowy with X's nv too.
