Package: libsvga1
Version: 1:1.4.3-27
Severity: normal
File: /usr/lib/libvga.so.1

When I boot my computer, my Philips 192E LCD Monitor displays all
console messages from the BIOS, the bootloader and Linux correctly
before starting X-Windows.  However, both on shutdown and on switching
to a textmode virtual console (using Ctrl+Alt+F1) this monitor
complains: 'Cannot display this video mode'.  On reboot, the shutdown
messages are not displayed, but the startup messages are displayed
correctly.

Switching the monitor's power off (either before or after the
Ctrl+Alt+F1) and on again does not bypass this problem.  This monitor
uses a VGA cable for the connection with the computer.

This is a problem as I require a textmode virtual console to safely
upgrade from lenny to squeeze.  I cannot find a telinit runlevel that
starts my computer without starting X-Windows.  I doubt that I can
perform this upgrade after booting Debian into single user mode.

This bug may be related to #125819: svgalib: doesn't switch back to
framebuffer mode.  However, the last activity on that bug was on 01
Dec 2002 21:13:50 +0100.

Please correct me if I have entered this report against the wrong
package.
