[Bug 246269] Re: Switched from vesafb to uvesafb, but uvesafb can't work without v86d

[Gerhard Radatz]

I am afraid that captn's solution did not fully work for me:

The situation is not as bad as before (computer now boots without
beeping and stripes, and I can use the X desktop now without problems),
but:

-) The text on the console window is displaced about 1/2 of the screen width to the right and about 1/3 of the screen height to the bottom.
-) When I see the gnome login screen, switching to the console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 only works once. When switching back to the X screen (Ctrl-Alt-F7) I again see the login screen, but: pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 again fails. My screen turns black and switches off after a while, which apparently means there is no valid input signal anymore. (Ctrl-Alt-F7 again restores the X-screen, then).

Any ideas? I tried several resolution settings in the uvesafb config file, but none worked. 
I am using an nvidia Quadro FX 4600 card, the native resolution of the monitor is 1280*1024 pixels.
