3.11.0-12 does not have the bug, while 3.12.0-1 with SYSFB=n does. It looks like 3.12 is when simplefb was implemented (as you noted in a previous post) and when vesafb was integrated.
Based on Joseph Salisbury's comment #24 above noting that the older Ubuntu kernels had SAUCE patches to make vesafb work on platforms like this, is it safe to conclude that the version of vesafb in the Ubuntu- specific kernels 3.11.0-12 and earlier is not the same as the version in upstream? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1434581 Title: Console extremely slow with 3.13 and newer kernels for certified servers with Matrox G200er2 or similar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434581/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
