Hi, I am running Debian on my laptop and after an upgrade, it tries to enter in "graphical console mode".
On boot I get: sisfb: Using MMIO qeue mode the screen goes blank and it enters in graphic mode (with the penguin on the screen), but it's all fuzzy. I can't use the text consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F1, etc.) either. It works, but I can't see anything on the screen. Here is what comes after the above line in dmesg: ............. sisfb: Using MMIO queue mode sisfb: Detected SiS301LV video bridge sisfb: Detected LCD PDC 0x03 (for LCD=CRT2) sisfb: Detected LCD PDC1 0x06 (for LCD=CRT1) sisfb: Mode is 800x600x8 (60Hz) sisfb: Initial vbflags 0x4000022 sisfb: Added MTRRs Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 100x37 sisfb: Installed SISFB_GET_INFO ioctl (80046ef8) sisfb: Installed SISFB_GET_VBRSTATUS ioctl (80046ef9) sisfb: 2D acceleration is enabled, scrolling mode ypan (auto-max) fb0: SiS 65x frame buffer device, Version 1.6.32 sisfb: (C) 2001-2004 Thomas Winischhofer. tridentfb: Trident framebuffer 0.7.5 initializing vesafb: abort, cannot reserve video memory at 0xd0000000 vesafb: framebuffer at 0xd0000000, mapped to 0xd0876000, size 600k vesafb: mode is 640x480x8, linelength=640, pages=24 vesafb: protected mode interface info at cbb9:0000 vesafb: scrolling: redraw fb1: VESA VGA frame buffer device vga16fb: itializing vga16fb: mapped to 0xc00a0000 fb2: VGA16 VGA frame buffer device pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 8250 ............ I tried "vga=ask" in lilo.conf and all the possibilitied from the list, taking off the line "vga=.." from it, but nothing works. How can I fix it or just go back to plain text console? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Best to all, Luis P.S.: if this e-mail has been posted in duplicate, please accept my appologies... I sent this e-mail before but it didn't seem to work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
