That release predates the introduction of the framebuffer console. I have had a problem since that started, the video mode selected is incorrect and I see the boot messages in VGA mode until the framebuffer console is activated, then the screen goes blank and pops up a message complaining about the video mode. I have to do a blind login and then run startx. Never learned how to disable wsdisplay and keep the simple 80x24 console. Allan
