From f700d6e5e5549cb9349d22043f4bd153792c621f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Stabellini Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:29:59 -0700 Subject: vt: do not update when the console is blanked vt.c DO_UPDATE macro checks if the console is visible but doesn't check if the console is blanked. In fact updating fbcon while the console is blanked is not only unnecessary but can even cause screen corruption. Therefore I am adding a simple check on console_blanked in DO_UPDATE.
