Package: libsvga1 Version: 1:1.4.3-27 Severity: normal File: /usr/lib/libvga.so.1
When I boot my computer, my Philips 192E LCD Monitor displays all console messages from the BIOS, the bootloader and Linux correctly before starting X-Windows. However, both on shutdown and on switching to a textmode virtual console (using Ctrl+Alt+F1) this monitor complains: 'Cannot display this video mode'. On reboot, the shutdown messages are not displayed, but the startup messages are displayed correctly. Switching the monitor's power off (either before or after the Ctrl+Alt+F1) and on again does not bypass this problem. This monitor uses a VGA cable for the connection with the computer. This is a problem as I require a textmode virtual console to safely upgrade from lenny to squeeze. I cannot find a telinit runlevel that starts my computer without starting X-Windows. I doubt that I can perform this upgrade after booting Debian into single user mode. This bug may be related to #125819: svgalib: doesn't switch back to framebuffer mode. However, the last activity on that bug was on 01 Dec 2002 21:13:50 +0100.
