Sorry for bothering you. I read your precedent message concerning these
problems but too late, after posting my message. I recompiled the kernel
+ your l-con90 with vgafb disabled. The problems have been fixed.
I have noticed, however, something strange with the screen redrawing.
The below is a part of the screen after running Midnight Commander just
after logging in.
Starting printer spooler: lpd.
Starting watchdog daemon: watchdog.
Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.
This is Linux 2.1.109.

This is Linux 2.1.106.
