Comment 10 for bug 246269

Bug is confirmed here with Intrepid Ipex on my Sony Vaio with Nvidia and linux kernel 2.6.26-5-generic. The following messages are displayed during boot:

[ 2.152084] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-3)
[ 2.152140] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
[ 2.152193] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22

Trying to manually add vga modes in /boot/grub/menu.lst (for example vga=791) result in an entirely black screen though the whole booting sequence. Installing or uninstalling v86d has no influence on this nasty bug. Would be nice to have back again the possibility for slightly larger boot display ...
