Description Rudolf Kastl 2007-11-27 14:50:39 UTC 
Description of problem:
actually i would love to try the newly added 2.6.24 feature FB_UVESA but it is
disabled in current rawhide kernels actually. Afaik it is supposed to work on
x86 and x86_64 and also needs something v86d userspace stuff that is not
packaged yet (but could be tested properly with the module enabled in the kernel)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.23.8-62.fc8
Comment 1 Rudolf Kastl 2007-11-29 00:21:31 UTC 
oh i am sorry wrong kernel version info... above mentioned kernel doesent even
have that option. (btw. the module builds just fine)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.24-0.42.rc3.git1.fc8
Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2008-04-27 04:26:13 UTC 
I don't think we're going to enable this. The userspace code is not packaged for
Fedora and it would need support in mkinitrd too.
