I played with this for the better part of the afternoon. Nothing |
| 26 |
changed. I *do* have vesafb-tng enabled. |

This might be way out in left field, but I compared something between my |
| 29 |
laptop, which works fine loading the framebuffer device running kernel |
| 30 |
2.6.14-r4 and my desktop which I upgraded to kernel 2.6.14-r5. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Running menuconfig, the following lines show: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Device Drivers ---> |
| 35 |
Character Devices ---> |
| 36 |
[*] Virtual terminal |
| 37 |
[*] Support for console on virtual terminal |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
There are no such lines in running menuconfig on my desktop. The |
| 40 |
difference *could* be laptop<-->desktop, but I thought I would ask. |
