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

[hyperair]

I noticed that someone mentioned the need for using 915resolution on Intel GPUs. However, I managed to get the solution working without 915resolution, using the Intel GMA965 GPU on a Lenovo Y410. What I did was this:
1. Install v86d
2. Add /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb containing this line:
options uvesafb mode_option=1280x800-32 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap
3. sudo depmod -a
4. sudo update-initramfs -u
5. Restart.

Something I noticed was that when either starting or resuming from
hibernation from a cold boot, I get artefacts when usplash starts, then
booting stalls, presumably because I didn't see the cryptsetup prompt
and didn't key in the encryption key. However, if I try starting again
(Alt+SysRq+B), then usplash works.
