First of all, a big *thanks* for your work :-)

I just rebuilt my kernel+world from today's sources, installed, then
patched and reinstalled kernel+vidcontrol.  All seems to work fine, and
I can use a console of 1024x768, switch between consoles with different
modes, start X11 and then stop it again and have the console return to
its previous mode, etc.

Almost everything seems to work absolutely great.  Except for one minor
detail:

When I double click on a word, to select this word in a console window,
the characters under the cursor and 1-2 characters after it get messed
up a bit (i.e. foreground and background colors getting a bit mixed up
where the cursor "covers" parts of the characters).
