I believe both my sound cards not being recognized is not related at all to the -restricted modules, as ALSA is free and included by default in Kernel. The released fix introduced a grave regression. It manifests with linux-2.6.24-13.23 (amd64) ,but not with 2.6.24-12. Not being able to play

This ought to fix it - it limits the font saving/restoring to vgacon. The FB layer does its own reference counting, which confuses things. ** Attachment added: fix_fb_fonts.diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12827657/fix_fb_fonts.diff ** Tags added: patch -- atyfb regression - screen blank
