Bug#698165: uvesafb: HP Vectra VL400DT, unable to set console resolution
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.35-2
Severity: normal
File: uvesafb
Dear Maintainer,
the Intel i815 integrated with this graphics card has relatively significant
compatibility issues with many Linux kernels and loaders.
LILO prompts about pressing Enter to list video modes on every boot. Can use vga=normal or vga=ext, but noting down a video mode and passing it to a 2.4 kernel doesn't work properly.
GRUB2 can display a graphic menu. On both 2.6.32-5-686 and 3.2.35-2-686-pae kernels, trying to increase the resolution via gfxpayload produces unreadable text due to it being squished together. (on my CRT monitor, it appears brighter than the standard dim white, comparable to "bold" bright white).
In the GRUB2 command line, `vbeinfo` turns the screen black and `vbetest` just displays a blinking cursor. Ctrl+Alt+Del is the only way out.
Running `modprobe uvesafb` returns "[timestamp] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22" and the /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes file, supposed to contain available resolutions, isn't created. Re-running the command produces no output.
