Bug 109242 – 2.6.13-r3 splash failure: vesafb & nVidia

• Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 109241
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bob 2005-10-13 21:44:52 UTC]

vesafb and splashutils don't seem to work properly with the 2.6.13-gentoo-r3
kernel on an nVidia NV18.  the framebuffer will only initialize at a single
resolution.  at this resolution, the framebuffer is garbled -- the colum count
does not take into account the 4 characters that need to be subtracted for
proper display using the "emergence" theme.  as a result, 4 characters are
wrapped to the next line.  a detailed explanation is available at the
above-captioned URL on the gentoo forums.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge, configure, compile gentoo-sources 2.6.13-r3 with vesafb and nVidia NV18
2.  rebuild splashutils and the splash images
3.  reboot

Actual Results:  
framebuffer at a single resolution.  framebuffer text information uses improper
column count.

Expected Results:  
framebuffer at multiple resolutions.  framebuffer text uses proper column spacing.
