Thank you for the testing! Xorg working confirms that uvesafb really is the source of the problem. This is good to know. I have hope that this issue is fixed by commit 0ad60b2a89d6d387236466e0bcdd61ac489fca37 that loads uvesafb only if it cannot already detect a frame buffer device. I do not have a downloadable image for confirming the fix though. Sorry I did not think of checking the presence of /dev/fb0 earlier. Regards, Florian
