Fairly often, I suspect. I think the only fbcon driver that's enabled in our kernel images is vesafb, and my experience has been that it doesn't work with a lot of cards. It might be worth filing a bug on kernel-image to ask for e.g. matroxfb and mach64fb to be turned on as well. >Sounds like this issue is kinda a crippling one -- the idea to drop >down to english as effectively 7 bit sounded like the best approach. Yep, seems that way. I've checked in a patch that implements this. I see someone uploaded an NMU for newt, too. So, the only blocking issue I know about for LC at the moment is #121186. I'm kind of wary about NMUing bogl-bterm for that one without the maintainer at least agreeing that the change is correct, but we may have no choice if nothing happens soon. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
