[Bug 201983] Re: vesafb refuses mode 865 for dell XPS m1330

[Benson Margulies]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: linux-image
  
  I quote from http://intr.overt.org/blog/?page_id=56:
  
  For non-X console mode, I use the vesafb driver. Dell were nice enough
  to include the native 1280×800 mode in the vesa mode list, as mode 865 -
  so if you configure lilo or grub (depending on your preference) to pass
  that to the kernel at boot time, you’ll get a native mode console.
  
- Ubuntu gutsy gibbon linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic won't set this mode.
- It complains that it is invalid and shows a menu when I have vga=0x865
- in my kernel line in menu.lst.
+ Ubuntu gutsy gibbon linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic virtual terminals
+ break with this mode set. They show only a blinking cursor, no contents.
