vesafb@1280x1024 used to work for me in 2.4.x

[Oncaphillis]

Hi,

I have a 1600x1024 LCD panel with a nvidia
GeForce 7600 graphic card. Up until recently I used
a 2.4.xx kernel and could happily convince it to use
the vesafb at 1280x1024 res in vertical mode by
adding "vga=775 fbcfbcon=rotate:3" as a kernel arg.

This stopped to work for me since 2.5.x. The vesafb prompts
me for some dull resolutions (like 80x60 etc).

Note that 775 never showed up as a supported vesa mode.
If I supplied any bogus vesa mode (e.g. vga=999999) the
2.4.x vesafb driver also only offered me the dull resolutions. But
explicitly setting it to 775 worked.

Thank you very much indeed

O.

Oh !! This is so embarrassing !!
It's kernel 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 not 2.4.x and 2.5.x

Sorry
