Public bug reported:
This seems essentially a continuation of or closely related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/150797
In Lucid when I try vga=0x120 on cmdline I do not get the Intel legacy
native 132 column by 25 row mode. A message flashes on screen and
disappears too quickly to read, and nothing that looks similar is to be
found anywhere in /var/log. Googling I've seen references to gfxpayload,
but these all seem to imply framebuffer ever worked. Framebuffer never
has worked on any i810 video chip I've used. None of the gfxpayload
examples I've tried on Lucid work. So, I'm stuck in 80x30 consoles using
Lucid, while openSUSE 11.3 (later released) on the same machine gives me
the same functional 120X25 consoles I've been using for over a decade.
