[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 538893] Re: [CLE266] Console screens unusable on Jetway system with VT8623, boot problems
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 558569 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558569 I, too, am experiencing trouble with Ubuntu 10.04 with a 2.6.32-21 -generic-based installer on: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8623 [Apollo CLE266] integrated CastleRock graphics (rev 03) I am doing a text mode netboot install and not setting up X. The installer is unusable with distorted broken dialogs and unreadable font. I tried booting the kernel with video=vga16fb:off,viafb:off, but that did not fix the broken screen. I understand this is still an open issue, but I am at least looking for a workaround to be able to netinstall machines in text mode.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 538893] Re: [CLE266] Console screens unusable on Jetway system with VT8623, boot problems
I'm updating this system right now - it hadn't been updated for a few days. I believe blacklisting the viafb solved the problem, and I believe that's the default now - to blacklist viafb. I'll check again when the update is complete. I have another system with the same kind of motherboard. that has a Samsung SyncMaster 570@ tft display connected. This system hangs up during boot of the 17 April daily-build live CD - the boot screen with the moving colored dots keeps going on and on, and booting never completes. Later I'll try that live CD on THIS system, which has a CRT display. -- [CLE266] Console screens unusable on Jetway system with VT8623, boot problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 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

After today's update, this system is running Linux lightning 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux viafb is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf - this is now the default situation. -- [CLE266] Console screens unusable on Jetway system with VT8623, boot problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-openchrome 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
