[Indraveni] ahy this image is displyed. Can any one tell me from where this Image is coming and how can I resolve it. As far as I know this image is stored in the video memory of your video card, and is displayed after the video mode is switched and before the X server manage to replace the content of the video memory with the new content. Anybody there who is working on it. I have no idea. I'm not sure if anyone in the X consider it a problem.

You could blank the RAM somehow if it's important.
How would you do that (in a portable manner)? I think this could be
privacy-relevant sometimes.
I have the following snippet in my .bash_logout for similar reasons:
#--
# When leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy.
# Also clears the scroll-back buffer.
#--
case $(tty) in
/dev/tty[0-9])
t=$(v=`tty` ; echo ${v##*ty})
clear
chvt 63; chvt $t
;;
/dev/tty[0-9][0-9])
t=$(v=`tty` ; echo ${v##*ty})
clear
chvt 63; chvt $t
;;
*)
;;
