[Bug 926028] [NEW] Resume normal boot fails to launch X when using fbdev

[Jani Uusitalo]

Public bug reported:

Due to Bug #926007, I'm forced to use fbdev on this laptop in order to
use X. In normal use it works okay, but when I boot in recovery mode,
the resume normal boot option fails to launch X. Instead it launches the
low graphics mode dialog, and if I switch to VT-1, the screen becomes
garbled.

Xorg log says the problem is it can't open /dev/fb0: No such file or
directory. I'll attach the log below.

It doesn't matter whether or not I use the other options the recovery
ncurses menu offers; X won't start properly unless I reset and boot
normally (i.e. not in recovery mode).
