Package: kernel-source-2.6.10 Version: 2.6.10-3 Severity: normal
When the intelfb module is compiled into the kernel all consoles remain blank until the X server starts up. Using it as a module is not an option for non-CRT screens (see http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/intelfb.html, which I'm assuming not to be outdated on this issue). This makes the driver unusable for laptops. The initialization seems to be OK (from dmesg): Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 830M Chipset. agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 202M agpgart: Detected 892K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xe8000000 intelfb: Framebuffer driver for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G chipsets intelfb: Version 0.9.2 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 9 PCI: setting IRQ 9 as level-triggered ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:02.0[A] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R) 830M, aperture size 128MB, stolen memory 892kB intelfb: Non-CRT device is enabled ( DVO port B ).

This problem is similar to bug #289810, but I doubt that is directly related as vesafb doesn't figure into this particular configuration. Thanks for looking into this.
