Comment 26 for bug 246269

Oddly enough, on a cold boot I was actually surprised to see the almost-forgotten Ubuntu startup splash bar rendered properly. I'm still seeing a different uvesafb error, but not the -22 error as some are still apparently seeing.

fahim@fahim-gx280:~$ dmesg | grep vesa

This is on a Dell GX280 system with GMA900 graphics. I'll give it a try tomorrow on my work PC which is an Optiplex 755 with GMA3100 (?) Not even sure this has anything to do with the graphics card/IGP...I doubt it. But definitely interested in seeing if the new kernel really does do the trick or not
