Description of problem: (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid Argument See also http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/qemu-fails-on-fbdev.png Reproduced on radeonfb, the kernel fbdev driver used on qemu, vesa fbdev on i830 (according to krh) and also imacfb (out of tree experimental driver) on the Macbook Pro. (the latter works in Ubuntu btw and inspecting their xorg packages shows little divergence from ours so I suspect it may be a kernel issue?) We need this to work for OLPC for booting OS images on regular laptops. Please advise. Thanks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-fbdev-0.2.0-1 How reproducible: Always

that error message isn't actually fatal, just irritating. i think krh was looking into the fix for this, but you should be able to say Option "ShadowFB" "off" as a workaround for now.
There were two issues for this one. The first was the crasher, which was fixed by krh's patch in: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6940 The second was caused by recent miext/shadow changes, which I've just fixed upstream (it also caused the VESA driver to fail). Both are now checked in upstream and should be included in the next driver spin.
fixed in 0.3.0-1
