I upgraded from kernel 2.6.11 (gentoo-sources r4) to 2.6.12 (r6), and |
| 2 |
lost my framebuffer console. No console whatsoever, actually, but xdm |
| 3 |
starts OK. Checking .config, I see |
| 4 |
# Console display driver support |
| 5 |
# |
| 6 |
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y |
| 7 |
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y |
| 8 |
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m |
| 9 |
# CONFIG_FONTS is not set |
| 10 |
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y |
| 11 |
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I was under the impression that CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE is set only when |
| 14 |
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE is unset. Wrong? I'm assuming that the dummy console |
| 15 |
overrides the vga console... |
| 16 |
There is no way to unset the ugly thing. I tried make menuconfig and |
| 17 |
make xconfig. I tried commenting out that line. |

The line in grub.conf: |
| 20 |
kernel (hd1,2)/boot/linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hdb3 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x31a pci=usepirqmask |
