[Bug 1065902] Re: black/blue screen before installer, tty switch fixes it

 

Adding the ubuntu-omap4-extras-graphics project as I believe this is a
known issue from TI side.

One thing I was discussing with ogra a few days ago is that we're using
the pvr-omap4 driver already at the installer, and that's not a good
thing to do as this might affect future hardware revisions (issues with
the SGX driver specifically).

Ideally both the installer and the 'safe' X11 session should just be
using fbdev, so the user gets to a valid session all the time (only
issue if the desktop session requires unity 3d, then we should use fbdev
at least during the installer).

  During a test installation, after the purple Ubuntu splash screen, the user is greeted with a black or blue screen instead of the installer.
  Switching tty and back (ctrl+alt+f1 and alt+f7) fixes it.
