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!) |

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 |
|

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. |
