Hi,
i am running ubuntu 7.10. last week i did a kernel update to 2.6.22-4-generic.
after that i lost my system's framebuffer capability.
i did following to re-enable it:
content of /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
fbcon
vesafb
---------( eof )-------------
change the end of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kernelextras:
# And add vga16fb for usplash to use as well
#manual_add_modules vga16fb
manual_add_modules vesafb
#if [ ${fbcon} = "y" ]; then
force_load fbcon
#fi
-------------------------------
my /etc/modules contains the 3 lines:
fbcon
vesafb
vga16fb
remove the vesafb and fbcon from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
do a: update-initramfs -u -k all
and make sure grub's menu.lst file is setup correctly
dont forget grub-update if you need it.
good luck, stefan
