I haven't tried debugging it yet, but I'm suffering from the
black-on-black text problem as well. This is with plain vgafb and
a Matrox Millenium II 4Mb.
Did anyone else notice some compile errors in mdafb.c when building
it as a module? I managed to get it to compile with some prodding,
but since I can't get the fbcon stuff up and running, I haven't had
a chance to test the mda module on my system, which is dual-headed.
