[Bug 437871] Re: need settle before modprobe $FB for uvesafb

[steven_shiau]

One thing I noticed related to initramfs-tools - 0.92bubuntu51 is that if I put
video=uvesafb:1400x1050
in the boot parameter, 
in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer, it runs:
modprobe -q uvesafb mode=1400x1050
instead of 
modprobe -q uvesafb mode_option=1400x1050

i.e. it actually uses "mode=" instead of "mode_options". 
The kernel module "uvesafb" from 2.6.31-11-generic in the Karmic actually uses the option "mode_option" insetad of "mode"
$ modinfo -F parm uvesafb |grep "video mode"
mode_option:Specify initial video mode as "<xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]"

Where am I wrong or is this a bug that the function parse_video_opts in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/framebuffer should be fixed?

Thanks.
