The patch titled
fbdev: ignore VESA modes if framebuffer is disabled
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fbdev-ignore-vesa-modes-if-framebuffer-is-disabled.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: fbdev: ignore VESA modes if framebuffer is disabled
From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@xxxxxxxxx>
If the option vga=<VESA graphics mode> is added to the boot parameter, it will
activate graphics mode, but without any framebuffer support, the user is left
with an unusable display.
Change the behavior such that the user is instead prompted for another mode
(ala vga=ask).
NOTE: People can always use vbetool to set a graphics mode if this is really
desired, but the number of people doing this approaches zero.
