During openQA runs, openSUSE observed that the on-screen font was different lately. I can locally reproduce the problem, which is, generally speaking:
Loading a framebuffer module resets the console font to the VGA ROM default for that mode. systemd-vconsole-setup or part thereof needs to be rerun to reload the desired font settings. I specifically observe this during boot. I do not have inteldrmfb.ko in the initramfs, so the console remains in VGA text mode until the initramfs has completed. In the real root then, systemd-vconsole-setup is started, as is udevd, which will finally load inteldrmfb.ko and switch the console to FB, reverting the font settings. So, ordering vconsole-setup after udevd might workaround the issue, but it certainly is an unclean approach that none of us will love. It also does not deal with the case that the framebuffer module is loaded way later (e.g. manually). Thoughts on how to solve this? Processing some udev rules as a result of FB drivers loading come to mind, but I wonder if that's the right approach.. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
