Description Radoslaw Szkodzinski 2005-07-01 01:50:05 UTC
This verion of the driver doesn't work with vesafb and vesafb-tng.
It probably breaks every other driver too.
After turning on X, switching to another conlose gives me either a blank screen in correct resolution (vesafb) or screen in text resolution with junk on it (vesafb-tng).

The kernel is 2.6.13-rc1 + latest git tree + reiser4, fuse, inotify and vesafb-tng.
Vanilla 2.6.12 and 2.6.13-rc1 also break, 2.6.12-mm2 does so too.

For reference, 1.0.7174 worked ideally.

same problem:
  this might be a problem that results from the card because that is the only
thing that I can see as being the same, as the person that created the bug
report.  I have resorted to not using a fb. I had thought that maybe it was a
problem that was a result of using an amd64, with an nforce 3 mb, as most of my
problems seem to stem from.  No fb seems to work fine even if my charactors are
a 1 cm tall, on a 21" monitor.

Comment 2 Radoslaw Szkodzinski 2006-05-08 08:15:21 UTC
The newer versions do not have the bug. Closing the old bug.

UPSTREAM means that the problem has been resolved by upstream, doesn't it?
