[Bug 129910] Re: Blank ttys when using vesafb (vga=xxx)

Thu Mar 13 09:44:19 UTC 2008

Hello,

  Since I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.24-12, the tty is blank, I use vga=0x318. I have been using this workaround:
Commented those lines in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer :
#blacklist nvidiafb
#blacklist vesafb

Added those lines to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
fbcon
vesafb

Then running update-initramfs.

This workaround was working in Gutsy and Hardy, but when I upgraded to
kernel 2.6.24-12, it stopped working.
