Hi there,

i've got a question, was vesafb-tng dropped from gentoo-sources or is it a bug/mistake?

Yet changing to uvesafb seems to require a 'backward' step in that it would appear (from reading the documentation) that it will not work with a 'raw' kernel but requires an initramfs.

Anyone noticed that after shutting down X the text in console looks pretty bad? Don't know how to describe it but, low resolution.
