Hi Steve, sorry for my late reply (I was at a sprint). I agree with your conclusions but I'd like to partially revert your changes.
You removed a feature which allowed packagers to blacklist single card ids to prevent them from using the boot splash in case of nasty interactions with the NVIDIA driver. While the result is the same (i.e. the framebuffer is on by default), I restored the feature by putting back the relevant slave link which would simply point to a blacklist file that only shows how to disable nvidia cards (it's all commented out). ** Patch added: "0001-Restore-slave-link-to-grub-gfxpayload-file.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/854967/+attachment/2534427/+files/0001-Restore-slave-link-to-grub-gfxpayload-file.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854967 Title: boot to rescue mode in Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/854967/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
