FWIW, this bug does not apply to OpenSUSE 10.3, Mandriva 2008, or Feisty, and I highly doubt it applies to Fedora 8 or any other recent distro. Apparently the devs think those who rightly expect their fb consoles to work correctly should use something other than Gutsy or Hardy, or write their own script to load the necessary module(s), or install some gfxcard other than Intel.
