Peter, how in general do you want to proceed where we have
documented
cases of graphics mode setting failure in grub2? Do you want individual
bug reports for each affected bit of hardware? Downstream, upstream?
What kind of info should be included? Thanks!
What's not good enough about using [the equivalent of] vesafb,
so as to to avoid problems with mode-setting? Or, use vesafb
unless the PCI vendor:device:version is on a known-good list?
