I have seen some anecdotal reports that the vga16fb module and the x.org Savage driver may be incompatible.
Unfortunately, I'm not well-versed in the Linux boot process. Please demonstrate the appropriate incantation to ensure the vga16fb module is never touched (and either vesafb or a dumber console driver is) and I will test this theory on my T21. -- X.org does not initialize screen on IBM T20, T21, T22 https://launchpad.net/bugs/33617 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
