Bug#784579: [REGRESSION] vmwgfx black screen until X started
Hi Bernhard, I'm so sorry for the long delay in getting back to you. Somehow I was not notified that there was a new (your) message waiting to be read. The good news is that adding "vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1" to the kernel command line definitely solves the problem! The system works as expected now. The fix has been tested with 3 different computers and 2 different VMWare versions (Workstation 7 and 11) and everything is good now. Thanks again for the quick solution! Markus
Bug#784579: [REGRESSION] vmwgfx black screen until X started
Package: src:linux Followup-For: Bug #784579 Hi, If I disable the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX parameter then GRUB does not tell Linux anything. I assume that GRUB (or is it the Linux kernel?) switches back to 80x25 text mode and the whole boot process completes without problems. No black screen. Can you test the fix in Bug#714929 (vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1 on the kernel command line)? Bernhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
