As far as I remember we changed CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX_FBCON to 'y ' now. Generally it is getting more complicated nowadays. Grub2 initializes some framebuffer graphics mode (unless console mode is enforced in /etc/default/grub), hands this fb over to plymouth and that hands things over to X. And som

Ok so with those there seems to be some resolution lines which get repeated three times with the Ubuntu kernel (which is odd) and compared to the self-compiled kernel there seems to be no action to replace the framebuffer. Could you try to boot the Ubuntu kernel with "vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1" added

Blacklisting simple-framebuffer for the Ubuntu kernel will have no effect because it is built-in. But I am interested in the two dmesg's without any blacklisting to compare the output.
