I like an old-fashioned VGA text look on the console; in /etc/default/console-setup I have
FONTFACE="VGA" FONTSIZE="16" This used to work. But after a dist-upgrade around April 10th, the behaviour changed. 1 -- cold startup works normally (and looks normal). 2 -- startx works OK 3 -- pressing control-alt-f2 (to go to the console temporarily) now gives a (framebuffer?) screen with very small letters; at the top of the screen there is a message from "drm" stating that the resolution is set to 1250 x 1024 (instead of 640 x 480 which is what I want). 4 -- presing alt-f7 gets me back into X. 5 -- pressing control-alt-f2 AGAIN gives a completely black screen. Nothing visible. Going back to X with alt-f7 is still possible. uname -a gives: Linux vega 2.6.32-3-686 #1 SMP Thu Feb 25 06:14:20 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux This kernel was installed recently; booting an earlier kernel, e.g. 2.6.29-2, gets the old (proper) behaviour back. Configuration error? Or bug? If the latter, which package? Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
