[Bug 133557] Re: usplash could not run on Ubuntu UME flavored kernel

[alek du]

Matthew and Amit,

Updates from my test, I guess this issue was root caused:

After one half day tracing and testing, I found actually this issue was
caused by another config option "CONFIG_VM86" not setting. usplash
source code ~/svgalib/src/lrmi.c (Linux real mode interface) with entry
function line 587:run_vm86() need this kernel option to call 16bit VGA
bios code to initialize video cards. Without this option, the video card
will not be set to desired mode through VGA bios.

I also tested, when remove CONFIG_VM86, Moblin kernel fell in same case
of UME kernel.


My apology for the previous FB_VESA misleading.
