Nothing changed. I *do* have vesafb-tng enabled.
This might be way out in left field, but I compared something between my laptop, which works fine loading the framebuffer device running kernel 2.6.14-r4 and my desktop which I upgraded to kernel 2.6.14-r5. Running menuconfig, the following lines show: Device Drivers ---> Character Devices ---> [*] Virtual terminal [*] Support for console on virtual terminal There are no such lines in running menuconfig on my desktop. The difference *could* be laptop<-->desktop, but I thought I would ask. Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
