To avoid this +situation you have to edit your `/boot/grub/menu.lst` and remove the +`vga=791` (or similar) kernel parameter from the kernel command line. +That way you will have a similar framebuffer as before. + +If you did not have a `vga=` line before (because you manually removed +it) and now you are angry about having a framebuffer, you can add +`i915.modeset=0` to the kernel command line and you will no longer have +a framebuffer. + +== The reboot + +Since the kernel is upgraded, too, you have to reboot your machine. + +Done! _______________________________________________ Frugalware-git mailing list Frugalware-git@frugalware.org http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-git
