[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 391215] Re: vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles
It seems that Lucid have chosen vga16fb per default. vga16fb doesn't support the vga= parameter and ends in broken tty consoles. So I exchanged vga16fb with vesafb. I added vga16fb to the blacklist (/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf) and removed vesafb from it. Furthermore I added fbcon and vesafb to /etc/modules. (I'm not sure if it runs without this modification.) -- vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 391215] Re: vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles
Alternatively (this works for me with Lucid, Nvidia with grub2) you can edit your grub (sudo gedit /etc/default/grub) file and add the following: GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x800x32 then run: sudo update-grub The keep borks the terminals for gfxpayload but the GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX works well if you specify the resolution. Note this will not work with non-GRUB2 bootloaders (i.e., GRUB) so you may have to update to GRUB2 if you are running the older grub. -- vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hy! I did some testing around this: Lucid Beta1 livecd, vga=792: proper 1024x768 console and graphical boot Lucid up2date install, vga=792: proper 1024x768 console and graphical boot Lucid Beta1 livecd, vga=865: proper 1280x800 console and graphical boot Lucid up2date install, vga=865: like without the vga parameter (low res console, and text boot) I'm listed the loaded modules when the livecd loaded and with the vga parameter it uses vesafb correctly instead of nouveau as expected... So why can vesafb work on 1280x800 with the livecd, and can't on the installed system? And why can vesafb work on 1024x768, and can't on 1280x800 on the installed system? -- vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391215 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 391215] Re: vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles
What is the goal of using the vga=xxx options at boot? In Lucid, the nvidia driver has kernel mode setting, which should result in a better experience in the virtual terminal than under previous releases. The vga=xxx options should not need to be used in lucid. Please confirm whether the default boot options are sufficient. If you still need better support under previous releases, please state which ones so we can properly target our solutions.

Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [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?

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...
