+ Problem : If you start with vga=791 (for 17"< / or vga=0x0344 (mode for
+ 15"SXGA Laptop)) no Console can be used/seen cause black!!!
Workaround, using framebuffers:
1. sudo vi /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add fbcon and vesafb
so my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules looks like:
fbcon
vesafb
2. sudo update-initramfs -u
3. sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer
change the line "blacklist vesafb" to "# blacklist vesafb" # perhaps
switch other free like nvidiafb...
4. reboot
thats a very bad Bug in Gutsy... if Xservers do not start beginners run
away...
cause nobody of them is abler to locate the problem.
DO NEVER HIDE CONSOLES!!
