Although the KMS situation will improve with every kernel release there will always be cards that are not running well (if at all) with KMS and the users choice to use UMS e.g. for graphics performance (gaming, 3d modeling, etc.).
So there should be framebuffers available by default even if the user and/or the video driver code chooses UMS. This would provide high resolution colored VT's and graphical splash to nearly any system and the user just don't have to care about anything. I demonstrated (although with my very special system setup) that it is possible. -- No console framebuffer support for modern ATI Radeon HD cards. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
