To Who(m) It May Concern, If you are into Linux (kernel and Xorg) and have time to spare, you might want to take a quick look at my Bug submission at Xorg freedesktop Bugzilla.
Bug 43167 "X intel driver causes wrong wraparound of console command line" <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43167> Unfortunately, the title of the Bug is a misnomer (to put it delicately). The Bug, according to my limited and humble analysis, seems to be caused by the newer _kernels_ (>=3.1) alone and NOT by the intel driver. If in the quick perusal you find something that catches your imagination, _please_ start at Comment 15 (with its attachments Comments 13 and 14). Then you can continue (and finish) with Comments 16 and 17 (relatively easy). Reading the whole document in any detail by starting at Description and Comment 1 is strongly discouraged. To begin with, it requires a strong stomach and, like me, a great and unwavering confidence that by 2025 Linux (with its kernel) will have the desktop all to itself.
