I think that it is unacceptable. I think that we should revert all fbcon/fbmem changes that went into 2.3.51 (video= -> fbcon=; change in initialization order (white square on matroxfb); video4linux (in)compatibility). I received couple of bugreports on these topics during weekend :-( Best regards, Petr Vandrovec vandrove@vc.cvut.cz
