In Lucid when I try vga=0x120 on cmdline I do not get the Intel legacy native 132 column by 25 row mode. A message flashes on screen and disappears too quickly to read, and nothing that looks similar is to be found anywhere in /var/log. Googling I've seen references to gfxpayload, but these all seem to imply framebuffer ever worked. Framebuffer never has worked on any i810 video chip I've used. None of the gfxpayload examples I've tried on Lucid work. So, I'm stuck in 80x30 consoles using Lucid, while openSUSE 11.3 (later released) on the same machine gives me the same functional 120X25 consoles I've been using for over a decade. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- native vga=0x120 on cmdline does not work on Intel chips that do not support standard VESA modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
