ehm, don't these users set some widescreen framebuffer modes anyway? I mean - when no framebuffer is used (thus 80x25 text mode) - no logo is visible anyway; when framebuffer is used - users set widescreen mode anyway (if possible). So I don't see a problem here. With uvesafb included in 2.6.24 users can check if their BIOS supports widescreen modes by # cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes > > This is just my two cents of course, but I suggest that we remove the > logo from the framebuffer altogether. > > -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
