No. This bug was filed against Gutsy, and it's still a bug against Gutsy. I don't know what would possess anyone to mark it "declined for Gutsy". The EOL date for Gutsy isn't until April 2009. Until then, basic functionality of the OS that's broken should be fixed, especially when how to fix the problem is widely known.

Having a console with better than 80x25 resolution isn't some new, cutting-edge technological feature to be introduced in the future. The framebuffer has been part of Unix systems since the 1970's. (For a description of the state of the Linux framebuffer as it was 10 years ago, see http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/fbdev.html.). As I said in an earlier post, SVGA has been around since 1990. It was even working in Ubuntu until Feisty was released.

This bug ain't fixed.

Happy Trails,
