Comment 40 for bug 1434581

I think he was guessing that there might be additional patches, but if you tried the mainline builds for 3.11.x we can rule that out. The mainline builds are without any special driver patches for that reason. It looks like some kind of regression in vesafb (either due to changing that or something that happens because it gets initialized much earlier now). The simplefb happens to be one that does not show that issue but due to the other issues would be a problem for us if activated. So I would prefer to find out how to fix vesafb or whether another fb driver may work as well.
Unfortunately I did not yet get to try my box here due to suffering a bit from the jet lag. I am on it now, just a bit slow.
