[Bug 391215] Re: vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles

[u-foka]

Hy!

I think this bug is something about the blocklisted fb drivers since I
don't know what version of ubuntu...
before that we used the vga param to get a high resolution terminal, I
personally used it to get usplash work on my native 1280x800 resolution
(nvidia 8400m, if I simply enter the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf
usplash still uses 1024x768).. Since ubuntu blacklisted these drivers, I
removed the blacklisting of vesafb, and added fbcon, vesafb to
/etc/modules (or something simlar I can't clearly remember) but since
karmic, I (and it seems others) can't get that working. On lucid I still
have a low res tty console, and plymouth only uses that text console
with a blue 1 line progress bar at bottom at boot (with or without the
nvidia drivers)... this will change till the release? I need the nouveau
packages installed to get it work? (I will test that soon)
