This sounds like the udev case for the sarge → etch upgrade. This was solved with a big hack in the preinst, that surprisingly turned out to work. If there is no other way, this is an option. > Of course, this sounds to me like "people need to do > updates in console mode", which ... isn't the best either. Not necessarily. The only thing is that people must not restart X before rebooting. This will, of course, cause trouble with (at least) GDM, which will restart itself and re-launch X when you log out after an upgrade. Having the driver fall back to vesa when no kernel support is found, as Julien proposed, sounds like a more reliable solution. -- .''`.
