Comment 7 for bug 189621

As Michael notes, there is still problems. Having installed v86d from the new package Matt created I still cant access high res vesa modes.

Problem 1:

From within Intrepid if I unload and reload the module like so:

sudo modprobe -r uvesafb
sudo modprobe uvesafb mode=1280x1024-32

It results in tty alignment being wrong (like its centre aligned not left)

Problem 2:

Trying to load video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32 wont run in the grub boot line results in nothing occuring and the default vga res being activated.

I dont think this package is in a useable state and it being ready for inclusion into linx-meta.
