Bug#339058: linux-image-2.6.14-1-686: 2.6.14 frame buffer no longer enabled in binary package
Package: linux-image-2.6.14-1-686
Version: 2.6.14-2
Severity: wishlist
First, thank you for all your astounding work keeping Debian the best
distribution bar none.
Until 2.6.14, I was able to use "vga=791" for framebuffer in lilo.conf,
and found the substantially larger console very useful. "vga=791" no
longer functions, in fact it causes the console to fail entirely. I
looked in the /etc/yaird/Default.cfg and it says "OPTIONAL MODULE fbcon"
so maybe the framebuffer has to be compiled in. Sorry I cannot be more
help, I tried compiling my own 2.6.14, and got hopelessly lost even
though compiling in the frame buffer did work.
Curt-
