Regarding my previous comment above: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246269/comments/11
When I made the comment above, I was working within a system I had personally built by hand. I manually built the kernel, klibc, and v86d. It of course worked perfectly in that environment. I assumed WRONGLY that since v86d was now being shipped in Ubuntu that it should work there too. I am now testing an installation on a Dell Inspiron 1420, using the 20080829 daily-live amd64 desktop (Alpha 5) iso which includes kernel version 2.6.27. I can confirm that uvesafb DOES NOT work in this environment. This is documented in the Debian v86d readme. Uvesafb will not work in Ubuntu until Debian/Ubuntu begin shipping v86d built against klibc. Or the user successfully builds v86d against klibc themselves. uvesafb will not work during boot while v86d is built against glibc. I apologize for the previous noise. -- Switched from vesafb to uvesafb, but uvesafb can't work without v86d https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246269 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
