The fbcon stuff broke the kernel when it was merged.  They'll hash it out in
a few releases.  The good news is that when they do GGI will be able to run
without recompiling a kernel for it.  In theory.

Hi,

I wouldn't worry too much about VGA-related stuff not working in
2.1.107 and 2.1.108. The VGA Console is completely broken in these two
kernels. Shift-PgUp/PgDn does not work and God knows what else is
broken. As far as I know a fix has not been provided yet, not even in
the kernel mailing list.

svgatextmode fails with 2.1.108

1998-07-04 Thread Lindsay Allen

Hi,

I have been using 116x34x9 for many moons now, but after changing from
2.1.106 to 2.1.108 my screen is steps and stairs.  It all comes good if I
revert to 80x25.

Using hamm and svgatextmode_1.8-5.2.deb.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this fixed?
