The driver is trying to find the fonts in the video BIOS ROMs and it gets it wrong. In 2.3 I just gave up and the fonts live in kernel data RAM. Long ago the SCO support department had tools and instructions on how to find the fonts in the BIOS ROMs and how to patch 2.2 so that it would use the proper address. Other wise you could upgrade to 2.3. Get a 386 while your at it. :-) -- Brian Chapman uunet!sco!chapman Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
