Comment 242 for bug 129910

I'm not sure what you mean by "fixed . . . with latest updates," because the console is still broken unless the user has the inclination and ability to do some hacking.

With latest updates the default installation still doesn't allow better than 80x25 on the console, because the framebuffer is blacklisted and nothing takes its place.

It is possible to re-engineer the box to get the console working again, but that's not a fix, just a workaround for us in the geek-speak-enlightened club.

<rant>
The SVGA standard for 1024 × 768 resolution at 256 colors was released in 1990. Here we are 18 years later running the most advanced, cutting edge kernel on the planet, but we're back to hacking the kernel to get the humble, text-mode tty console working properly. WTF?

Bottom line: this bug ain't fixed.
