Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2014-07-03 21:35:52 UTC 
To reproduce run "vidcontrol -f gallant" when using the vt_vga driver.
Resulting output appears as in the attached screenshot.  
vt_efifb or i915 framebuffer is fine.


Gallant is 12 px wide.  It looks like character positions that don't start at an 8-bit boundary (i.e., every other column) get shifted left to the previous 8-bit boundary, overwriting part of the previous column's character.

Notify possibly interested party.

Original fix for this issue (r269471) introduced a significant performance regression. New interface introduced in r270322 restores adequate console speed.
