So do you mean "vga=XXX" option in grub? > No, the option to activate VBE in xorg.conf. These 2 links talk about some of the options xorg.conf can have. <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Openchrome/Configuration/">https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Openchrome/Configuration/</a> <a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Openchrome/SuppaortedHardware/">https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Openchrome/SuppaortedHardware/</a> VBE is mentioned, although it is not well explained. > Agree on that. xf86-video-vesa can be used with VBE. And current new > driver(i.e. Intel/ATI) does not apply VBE anymore.

I does not like legacy stuff too. > > Thanks, > Frank Yeah, we can leave the software cursor option for now, but in the long run, the support for it should be dropped. I do agree that it should not be remove in the near future.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
