Bug#607546: svgalib support
Package: linux-2.6.32
Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When i915 is installed with modeset=1 it is not possible to run svgalib.
(System crashes but can be restored by starting X11)
I strongly prefer to run in terminal mode with svgalib and therefore
I use modeset=0 but then I have no X11. It would be nice to be able
to use svgalib while modeset=1 and as I understand there are some
kernel options for the framebuffer to allow that.
It would be nice if the distributed kernel would have whatever is
required enabled to allow svgalib in future debuian kernel releases.
