I am not sure whether this problem exists also in prior versions s= ince i did not test it. However, "has stopped to work" means that as soon as I g= ive "vga=3D791" as boot-param, nearly immediately after pressing the enter-key = at grub-prompt, when the kernel should switch into FB-mode, the LEDs on my keyboard start to blink and it looks as if the machine hangs completely. With only 512 megabytes of ram, this problem never appeared. --=20 .''`.
