The corruption goes away over time which points to a caching or buffering problem. Also if you cat /dev/urandom to the screen while doing the test then the corruption is more readily seen as occurring in equal sized vertical lines of pixels. I have not counted them but they seem about 32 pixels long. I did a dd of 64 byte of zero to the screen and got a black line about the same length. Since the fb is 2 bytes deep this makes sense.

Agreed, I continue to see this both on the BB and BB XM from images from last week.

As a (useless) data point I haven't seen corruption while running X in the linaro-alip images.

This bug is likely an artifact of the patch applied to fix #624115.

Bug #624115 happened when RMK decided to make ioremap of ram fail. He did this in his -next before the 2.6.36 cycle started. I assume the idea was to fix the framebuffer drivers that used ioremap later. Linux-linaro grabbed the bleeding edge rmk-next thus breaking the omap framebuffer. I assume that eventually there will be a better fix for #624115 but until then I believe we are stuck with some corruption when using framebuffer console. From the discussion that followed the workaround to #624115:

- In many cases we wouldn't need to ioremap inside the kernel at all, as
the kernel doesn't really need to read/write from/to the framebuffer. I
think the only user for this is the framebuffer console, which can be
disabled.

I'm not suggesting that turning off framebuffer console is a realistic option, onlyh that this corruption will likely be around for a while.

Of course Nico may pull a fix out of his hat at anytime.

retested on my beagle xm Rev A2 with the Nov 8th #2 build and 11-09 hwpack for omap3.

The bug as reported does not occur. However the cursor is one line further down then where text shows up as keys are pressed. Further the cursor is a square with a zebra pattern of horizontal white, then black, then white etc lines.
