Apologies -- the mode_option parameter only applies to framebuffer drivers that use modedb (which includes uvesafb).
As a workaround for drivers that use modedb, you can specify the video parameter like this: video=uvesafb:mode_option=1400x1050 ** Description changed: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-0.92bubuntu29 (jaunty) The parse_video_opts() function in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts /init-top/framebuffer should use "mode_option=$opt " rather than - "mode=$opt " when generating the framebuffer module mode parameter (see - linux-source/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt). + "mode=$opt " when generating the framebuffer module mode parameter for + framebuffer modules that use modedb (see linux- + source/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt). ** Summary changed: - in initramfs-tools scripts/init-top/framebuffer: "mode" parameter should be "mode_option" + in initramfs-tools scripts/init-top/framebuffer: "mode" parameter should be "mode_option" for drivers using modedb -- in initramfs-tools scripts/init-top/framebuffer: "mode" parameter should be "mode_option" for drivers using modedb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366343 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
