[Bug 391215] Re: vga=791 kernel line option breaks tty consoles

 

As described in my careless post to a duplicate bug report at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/391705/comments/10

this happens to me as well. Acer SK20, Intel 845 graphics so I don't
think it's just an nVidia issue.

The following lines from dmesg (attached) are interesting:

[    3.663897] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

It looks like the option is not being ignored, but is failing to do what
it should.
