#12: yes this is true, but does not explain why this leads to "blank
console" using the ubuntu supplied kernel and not using one self
compiled from plain vanilla sources. I've tested since: 3.12.8,
3.13.0-rc8 and 3.13. All show the same result: working console at
expected 800x600.
The ubuntu supplied kernel does not show a working console: only black
blank screen. It does not matter if within VMware, VirtualBox or on real
hardware -- it is all the same: console working if 640x480 but not if
set to 800x600 (or even higher -- I just do not set VMs to use higher
resolutions because my monitor isn't large enough for more).
Even the working kernel show this conflict -- IMHO it isn't the cause
Ubuntu supplied kernels do not work. I've tired to compile an Ubuntu
supplied kernel, but failed miserably (I gave up, because I *can*
compile plain vanilla ones -- why should I crop with applied patches?).
Within the fb-subsystem there are differences in kernel compile options.
Ubuntu kernels use a slightly different setup then I. I'd expect to find
the source of this problem there.
