The fact that it isn't a bug for *you* does not mean that it is not a bug. Among other things, it breaks apps that use the frame buffer without X - for example, the fbi and fbgs programs, links2 -g called from a tty and probably a number of others. In addition, it is still present in Hardy (the development version of Ubuntu), so your argument regarding "security only" falls flat on its face. The frame buffer has worked on every version of Linux that I have used since I started in 2002. This is a regression, whether you like it or not. I notice that Ben Collins is committing a change with vesafb, so perhaps this absurd situation will be rectified after all. We live in hope. -- Blank ttys when using vesafb (vga=xxx) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
