[Bug 366343] Re: in initramfs-tools scripts/init-top/framebuffer: "mode" parameter should be "mode_option"

[a7x]

Apologies -- the mode_option parameter only applies to framebuffer
drivers that use modedb (which includes uvesafb).

As a workaround for drivers that use modedb, you can specify the video parameter like this:
video=uvesafb:mode_option=1400x1050

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
  
  initramfs-tools-0.92bubuntu29 (jaunty)
  
  The parse_video_opts() function in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts
  /init-top/framebuffer should use "mode_option=$opt " rather than
- "mode=$opt " when generating the framebuffer module mode parameter (see
- linux-source/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt).
+ "mode=$opt " when generating the framebuffer module mode parameter for
+ framebuffer modules that use modedb (see linux-
+ source/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt).

** Summary changed:

- in initramfs-tools scripts/init-top/framebuffer:  "mode" parameter should be "mode_option"
+ in initramfs-tools scripts/init-top/framebuffer:  "mode" parameter should be "mode_option" for drivers using modedb
