Nouveau - Jul 2009 - [Bug 22765] New: Nouveau KMS makes framebuffer consoles unusable on 9800M

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22765

           Summary: Nouveau KMS makes framebuffer consoles unusable on 9800M
           Product: xorg
           Version: git
          Platform: x86-64 (AMD64)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: tavianator at gmail.com
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


I have a 9800M video card in my laptop, and have been using the nouveau driver
for a while.  Recently I upgraded to a git kernel + DRM module, to test out
KMS.  It seems to work fine when X is running, but if X isn't running the
display is simply blacked out.

This is more often than not caused by disabled FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE in the
kernel or (if built as module) fbcon not loaded.

Nope, my kernel is compiled with CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y.

The standard procedure: please provide kernel and X logs.

Never mind, it turns out uvesafb was running.  I didn't expect it to run
without a "video=uvesafb:..." option on the command line, but it does
anyway.
