I use rivafb with resolution/refresh rate 1280x1024 w 85 - every second run of 
`'ls -hla --color=tty ~' lists files (listing is long and doesn't fit in one 
screen) in unusual way - not from left but from middle of screen and hangs - 
it behaves similarly like more(1) with the exception you cannot reach 
promtline - pressing ENTER displays line by line, in loop, from beginning to 
end. Only switching between consoles or running 'ls' once again helps such 
situation. AFAIR I've spotted the same situation on recent Debian unstable - 
vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-k7.
