Kernel 2.6.10: Problems Using Savage Framebuffer

[wswartzendruber]

I was excited to see framebuffer support for S3 Savage chips in the changelog, but it doesn't work quite right.

Using the proper vga flag in grub.conf, the console has a thick black border around it. When I don't pass the vga flag, the screen gets distorted and garbled. Has anyone else dealt with this before?
