Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-12-generic
My machine is a Thinkpad T60 with SXGA+ display and it refuses to show a
framebuffer console other than 80x25 text mode.

I have tried the following:
Building a new kernel with VESA not compiled, only intelfb compiled in
statically results in
Sep 18 13:59:31 klapprechner kernel: [ 0.000000] Kernel command line:
root=/dev/sda3 ro video=intelfb
Sep 18 13:59:31 klapprechner kernel: [ 5.176000] intelfb: Framebuffer driver
for Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G/915GM/945G/945GM chipsets
Sep 18 13:59:31 klapprechner kernel: [ 5.176000] intelfb: Version 0.9.4
Sep 18 13:59:31 klapprechner kernel: [ 5.177000] intelfb: 00:02.0: Intel(R)
945GM, aperture size 256MB, stolen memory 7932kB
Sep 18 13:59:31 klapprechner kernel: [ 5.179000] intelfb: Non-CRT device is
enabled ( LVDS port ). Disabling mode switching.
And that leaves me with a blank console that I can switch to from X and
also switch back, but I can only see garbled lines. /dev/fb0 is present.
I have played with virtually everything regarding the framebuffer
device:
VESA compiled in: Always 80x25 textmode, regardless of any vga= line
intelfb as module preloaded in initrd: same as above
I'd really like a 1400x1050 framebuffer console. Really.
