Bug#509271: [linux-image-2.6.26-1-686] vesafb as static interferes with other FB modules



Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-12
Severity: minor

Hello,
I was trying to get my intelfb working, since I have:

intelfb: Cannot reserve FB region.

And, after some googling, I found that the problem is caused by vesafb being
loaded *before*, and thus reserving the "FB region"

I haven't tried a full kernel recompile yet, but, trying to remove vesafb, I
found that it's not built as module:

$ grep VESA /boot/config-2.6.26-1-686 
CONFIG_FB_UVESA=m
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
$

This is also present in 2.6.27-1~experimental.1~snapshot.12506 from
kernel-archive.buildserver.net.

I will try recompiling the kernel and making vesafb a module -- if that still
doesn't work, I'll clone/retitle this bug for my specific problem.

Kindly,
David
