[Edgy] Virtual Consoles messed up after upgrade from dapper

[Richard Bailey]

After my upgrade from dapper using update-manager -c -d my virtual consoles on tty1 - tty6 are not usable. Whenever I switch to them the image is a messed up mashup of what's in my X session.

If I boot into a recovery mode I get the console however.

Could this be a usplash issue? Could you try to remove the "splash" option from the command line when booting?

[Martin Bergner (martin-bergner)]

Oh, and could you tell us what kind of graphics card do you have?

[Richard Bailey (rmjb)]

Removing the splash option from the command when booting fixes the issue.

I have an ATi X800.

[Colin (colin-macdonald)]

I am having the exact same problem.

Graphics card is ATI X1400

[Richard Bailey (rmjb)]

Removing the splash option from the kernel command fixes the issue. Is that the solution or will usplash be worked on?

I have an ATi X800

[Morten Ødegaard (morten-odegaard)]

Same problem here, and the mentioned fix also works. ATI X1400

[mannequin (bugs-invigorated)]

The bug is still present with an ATI Radeon Mobility x1400. Removing the 'splash' option also fixes the problem.
