I think that you need to append "video=i915" to the linux command line, via the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub. This specifies the KMS driver for the kernel to use. When KMS gets loaded, it resets the console's scrollback buffer. Since the KMS driver gets loaded late in the boot process in Debian (later than in most other distro's), you won't be able to see any of your boot messages once your machine reaches login. Apparently this is going to be fixed in the future. MM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
