Hi Jiri,

If I disable compositor in the init program (to force legacy console
even with framebuffer), then after the framebuffer driver loads,
nothing is drawn on the screen.

You are indeed operating under wrong assumptions. There is no graphical alternative to the compositor. If you need to use a text mode output, you have to disable the (VESA) framebuffer completely (and keep just the EGA text mode configured).

PS: The reason I want to disable compositor is because it still locks
up for me (qemu i386 with or without kvm, updated Arch Linux).

Maybe a good motivation to identify the root cause of the lockup? :)


M.D.
