More information, it's possible to load the module with these instructions: http://askubuntu.com/questions/705878/can-i-fix-my-corrupted-lubuntu-splash-screen-having-disabled-the-graphical-term
Looking at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf there is this comment: # Framebuffer drivers are generally buggy and poorly-supported, and cause # suspend failures, kernel panics and general mayhem. For this reason we # never load them automatically. So it seems that the reason this module does not load automatically is intentional. Now that the X.org driver for this chip has been removed and it relies completely on the framebuffer module, maybe it would make sense to look into slightly better support for the framebuffer modules? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-sis in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290727 Title: sisfb is not automatically loaded with a SiS display adapter To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/290727/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
