** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  Kernel is one shipped in lucid
  
  Roughly related to 483301
  
  I have such hardware as makes fbcon not usable. The correct drivers for
  my system are vgaconsole and VESA.
  
  udev automatically loads fbcon if available -- adding fbcon to blacklist
  doesn't help.
  
- Having to do mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/fbcon.ko
- /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/fbcon.ko.disabled after
- every apt-get upgrade that touches the kernel is not reasonable.
+ Having to do mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/fbcon.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/fbcon.ko.disabled after every apt-get upgrade that touches the kernel is not reasonable.
