Perhaps the hardware cursor? I have been experiencing hashed text problems
under the hardware cursor. I am using a fairly new pmac-stable 2.2. kernel
with my beige G3's builtin 3D rage pro (atyfb.c)

Specifically after an exit of the latest SDL library's console driver, the
text under the cursor is hashed, as is the width of the cursor (about 6-8
chars, not 1 char).

A "reset" command on the console fixes things, but nonetheless, it seems
to be similar, superficially.
