Package: 915resolution
Version: 0.5.2-5
Severity: normal
We are having some trouble using the 915resolution package in our
pre-installed ISO. Because the default configuration file has no XRESO
and YRESO values, it causes apt-get to die when installed onto a system
that doesn't have an Intel chipset, or a system on which the vbetool
fails. This is ok when creating the ISO, but if the package happens to
be upgraded or gets uninstalled and reinstalled on such a system the
install fails when it tries to run the init script. We have made the
changes below to solve these problems.
