KMS provides its own framebuffer console driver -- disable any other |
5 |
framebuffer drivers such as (u)vesafb and enable |
6 |
FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY under drivers/graphics |
7 |
support/console display driver support. Also make sure you remove any |
8 |
vga= or video= options from the kernel commandline in your bootloader |
9 |
configuration. |

You will get a _fast_ console with native resolution (no more horribly |
12 |
stretched fonts!) |
13 |
|

BTW, everything KMS-related should be compiled in rather than built as a |
15 |
module. |

I've been using 1.8 since it made it into the tree and I must say I did |
22 |
not encounter any problems. |
23 |
|
24 |
Did you recompile every installed packege in x11-drivers after the |
25 |
switch to 1.8? |

Here I'm running ~amd64 with tuxonice-sources and xorg-server-1.8.1.902 |
28 |
on an Acer 2930 (GMA 4500MHD, 1200x800). I use KDE but I don't think |
29 |
that is relevant. |
