Re: [Bug 391215] Re: vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles

Hy!

I think this bug is something about the blocklisted fb drivers since I
don't know what version of ubuntu...
before that we used the vga param to get a high resolution terminal, I
personally used it to get usplash work on my native 1280x800 resolution
(nvidia 8400m, if I simply enter the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf
usplash still uses 1024x768).. Since ubuntu blacklisted these drivers, I
removed the blacklisting of vesafb, and added fbcon, vesafb to
/etc/modules (or something simlar I can't clearly remember) but since
karmic, I (and it seems others) can't get that working. On lucid I still
have a low res tty console, and plymouth only uses that text console
with a blue 1 line progress bar at bottom at boot (with or without the
nvidia drivers)... this will change till the release? I need the nouveau
packages installed to get it work? (I will test that soon)

 Because this has not been confirmed as an upstream kernel bug, and
 likely can't be due to the proprietary nvidia module, I am marking this

 ** Changed in: linux
Status: Confirmed = Invalid

Importance: Undecided = Low

Well, maybe that is an acceptable solution if the stability of nouveau
will be good enough, but I had never any problems with the nvidia prop +
vesafb combo, so why I should not use it? no kms... ok... I don't care,
on my lcd screen, the resolution switch smooth and painless anyway...
And many people may prefer that over nouveau even if plymouth can't use that

 Is it possible for those still wanting high resolution virtual terminals
 to use nouveau over nvidia? Nouveau will be the default in Lucid.
