Using Gentoo Live CD RC4: There is a little blue box with spinning slashes in it. I think it occurs when hardware is being automatically detected, but it's hard to tell because I can't press shift+PgUp to see. The blue box just keeps on running along, chewing up my screen preventing me from seeing what I'm typing. It's hard to describe. When I log in and get a prompt, the blue box goes to the end of the current line. Pressing enter for a new prompt will cause the box to jump down to the current line and repeat the process eventually making that line all blue also. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot live CD with no options. I use a PowerColor Radeon 8500 Evil Master II Multi-Display Edition video card on an Asus A7N8X Deluxe. 2. Watch. You'll see it - trust me. Actual Results: Annoying screen corruption. Expected Results: A screen that shows what I'm typing. Can be corrected by using passwd and entering in via another virtual terminal (ALT+F2).
this is caused by hwsetup segfaulting when detecting hardware, it has been fixed in recent livecds, sorry this bug report was not addressed sooner.
