Comment 9 for bug 305979

It appears that I do _NOT_ have VESA compiled into the kernel (I'm running the stock ubuntu kernel). In fact I don't have anything containing "fb" compiled into the kernel. For details, look below:

mnemo@kingfish:~$ cat /boot/config-2.6.28-2-generic | grep -i vesa
CONFIG_FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_FB_UVESA=m
CONFIG_FB_VESA=m
mnemo@kingfish:~$ uname -a
Linux kingfish 2.6.28-2-generic #3-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 4 21:49:26 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
mnemo@kingfish:~$ cat /boot/config-2.6.28-2-generic | grep -i vesa

mnemo@kingfish:~$ cat /boot/config-2.6.28-2-generic | grep -i fb | grep -v m
