Starting with Gutsy, using vga=xxxx on the kernel line makes consoles blank. In order to work around this, which I consider a bug, you must enable framebuffers, as suggested by the original poster. That is why I enable them.
The reason why I use vga=xxx is that I cannot stand 80x25, when I occasionally use a console. As I reported above, using a console is sometimes the only way around a frozen X application, but I sometimes like or need to work on consoles even out of an emergency. -- consoles are blank with framebuffers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157556 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
