Bug#759759: linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-amd64: nvidia framebuffer appears black
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.14.12-1~bpo70+1
Severity: important
With the following nvidia card:
NVIDIA GPU GeForce GTX 660 (GK106) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
If I boot 3.12, 3.13. or 3.14 from Debian backports, *and* XWindows is
disabled or otherwise doesn't start, I don't get a working text console.
Everything is black. Not even a cursor appears.
If I pass the following kernel parameter to disable framebuffer, it
works:
vga=normal nomodeset
