    t sounds similar to my problem with the 9.1 update kernel. I say
    similar because I can't read anything on mine, it just scrolls off the
    screen continuously. I was lucky in that I had some previously built
    semi vanilla kernels I had already been using (and am presently using
    2.6.7). I tried one of the newer Mantel kernels and it did the same, so
    I suspect a patch added between the shipped kernel and the update
    kernel. HTH.
