Comment 12 for bug 1872863

I repeated the same SRU verification as before, this time using kmod from -proposed.

I installed a fresh Bionic KVM, with EFI enabled. I upgraded the system to use the latest -updates packages. Linux 4.15.0-99-generic and Kmod 24-1ubuntu3.3 were installed. I shut the machine down, set the VGA device to vga=std, and rebooted. The screen was garbled and unreadable.

I then ssh'd in, enabled -proposed, and installed Linux 4.15.0-100-generic, and kmod 24-1ubuntu3.4. I rebooted, and the display came up great, and was perfectly readable. Attached screenshot as proof.

Relevent details from dmesg:

lsmod:

$ lsmod | grep bochs
bochs_drm 20480 1
ttm 106496 1 bochs_drm
drm_kms_helper 172032 1 bochs_drm
drm 401408 4 drm_kms_helper,bochs_drm,ttm

Since the Linux package builds bochs-drm, and the kmod package removes the blacklist, I am happy to mark this verified for both packages.
