Hi!

vesafb still shows nothing on HP OmniBook. It worked in 2.5.49, IIRC, and works on Toshiba.

Worst form of spam? Adding advertisment signatures ala sourceforge.net.
What goes next? Inserting advertisment *into* email?

Let me guess. You are using vga=791. Try changing that to another mode.

I haven't figured it out but we do have a theory.

In cfbimgblt.c in function color_imageblit you will see

unsigned long *palette = (unsigned long *) p->pseudo_palette;

Change that to

u32 *palette = (u32 *) p->pseudo_palette;

Tell me if this fixes your problem.
