Well before the updates I had ttys at the lowest resolution and the screens were garbled only if I tried to set the resolution using gfxpayload grub command. Now the screens are garbled with any setting, this coincided with the little white ubuntu sign appearing in the boot sequence.
Hopefully this clarifies things... -- tty screen produces garbled graphics when gfxpayload is set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443105 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
