Bug#649867: linux-image-3.1.0-1-686-pae: On boot, switch on too high video mode

November 24th, 2011 - 07:50 am ET by Stéphane Aulery | Report spam
Package: linux-2.6

Version: 3.1.1-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

At present, I use a Kernel Linux 2.6.39-2-686-pae and I have just installed a
kernel Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae.

Just after entering in runlevel S, kernel Linux 3.1.0-1-686-pae switch on too
high video mode for my old 1024x768 screen (Hyundai ImageQuest L50S), when It
configure video card. Kernel Linux 2.6.39-2-686-pae had always worked fine.

I have tried to force video mode at 1024x768x16 with GRUB_GFXMODE grub's
parameter. I take the same problem.

I suspect a problem with my poulsbo GMA500 Intel chipset.

Regards,



GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"
GRUB_GFXMODE24x768x16

I take it this is an LCD. What are the symptoms of using the video
mode with too-high resolution?

[...]

The Poulsbo driver was enabled in Debian in 3.0~rc1-1~experimental.1.
I don't see any mode detection fixes since v3.1 upstream, so please
report this upstream to Alan Cox , cc-ing Patrik
Jakobsson and
and either me or this bug log so we can
track it. Be sure to include full "dmesg" output (even better if you
pass the option drm.debug=0x06 on the kernel command line).

Hope that helps,
Jonatan
