vesafb+vgacon is ok during start-up but as soon as a graphics mode has been activated (usplash or xorg) there is no VT console display. With one of the VT consoles activated (by Ctrl+Alt+F1) all that is apparent is the back-light glow. Connecting via ssh from a remote PC and simply doing: $ lsmod | egrep 'vga|fb' fbcon 41760 72 tileblit 3584 1 fbcon font 9344 1 fbcon bitblit 6912 1 fbcon $ sudo modprobe vga16fb and the VT console text display instantly appears. $ lsmod | egrep 'vga|fb' vga16fb 15500 1 vgastate 11008 1 vga16fb fbcon 41760 71 tileblit 3584 1 fbcon font 9344 1 fbcon bitblit 6912 1 fbcon -- Gutsy Alternate - no console video driver installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144178 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
