Weird graphical glitch on tty

[dieselriot]

Just came across this strange glitch on the tty. Looks like the daemon graphics are stuck on VRAM or something, they stay in place if I scroll the tty. Which is weird since I don't remember ever seeing those specific graphics in the first place. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know the tty could display graphics.

Not complaining about it or anything since they'll probably go away when I reboot. I'm just really curious to what could've caused this.

Are you running maybe an older 13 version ?

What is putting the four FreeBSD logos at the top of my 13.0 console screens?

I'd like to know so I can get rid of that crap. (It being there also stops my cursor above the bottom of the screen by a distance equal to that taken up by the logos.) Jeez...

Thanks a lot. So those graphics are data embedded into the console for some sort of video test and a glitch overwrites the text with them. Interesting.

To be extremely honest I stopped updating my system after this incident.
