Bug#686528: linux-image-3.2.0-3-486: [lxfb] doesn't understand modes passed via GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in /etc/default/grub
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.23-1
Severity: normal
For some reason, lxfb doesn't understand the recommended method for setting the screen mode on non-KMS framebuffers via GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX in /etc/default/grub. This, combined with the fact that lxfb recently started to ship as a compiled-in feature, rather than as a module, systematically results in this host booting to a rather small 80x30 console, rather than a graphic framebuffer at a larger resolution.
What I have configuered:
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600x32,800x600x24,800x600x16,800x600x8,800x600
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024x32,1280x1024x24,1280x1024x16,1280x1024x8,1280x1024
... which works fine whenever vesafb use is enforced over lxfb via cmdline option video=vesafb, but fails whenever I let the kernel choose lxfb as its preferred driver.
