Booting with the default kernel 2.6.17 and checking loaded modules suggests the kernel has correctly loaded i810fb:
$ lsmod | grep fb i810fb 33852 0 vgastate 10240 1 i810fb agpgart 34888 4 drm,i810fb,intel_agp fbcon 41504 0 tileblit 3840 1 fbcon font 9344 1 fbcon bitblit 7168 1 fbcon vesafb 9244 0 So my question now is, is i810fb loaded from initrd or later? I'm trying to detect whether it is actually available to use the GRUB kernel command-line options - if it isn't then it makes sense that the splash screen fails AND that any attempt to use "vga=791" results in the "...undefined mode number" error. -- [Edgy] 5 white blinking stripes when booting on i810 laptop https://launchpad.net/bugs/64666 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
