Package: fbset Version: 2.1-28 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, Prior to Jessie, I could use "fbset" toset the screen resolution on my PowerPC Macs. This was often necessary if the system happened to mis-guess the actual screen resolution, or the screen was on a KVM switch. But now, with Jessie, when fbset is used this way does one of two things, neither of them useful: 1) It complains that the resolution is not in /etc/fb.modes so is "Unknown". 2) If the resolution is actually present in /etc/fb.modes, it says ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument In either case it does not change the screen resolution. The bug may not be in fbset, of course. It may be in the kernel. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-powerpc Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages fbset depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u1 ii udev 215-17+deb8u2 fbset recommends no packages. fbset suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
