[gentoo-user] X and frame buffer not playing nicely

[John covici]

Hi.  I am not sure when this started, but X and frame buffer are not

playing nicely.  For the frame buffer I am using the new uvesafb and

updated to the latest otherwise.



What happens is that if I start X my frame buffer which I use on the

virtual consoles gets messed up and I get lots of messages in the log

about error switching modes.



Oct 30 14:51:33 ccs kernel: uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0xff04,

err=0)



Any assistance would be appreciated.



My emerge --info is below:
