Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2014-01-09 14:48:17 CET 
Yep,

A new kernel will be pushed later today
Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2014-01-09 21:10:09 CET 
I guess it's CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE that got disabled
Comment 5 Thomas Backlund 2014-01-09 21:21:05 CET 
Yep.

and the fun thing is that FB_SIMPLE is not supposed to be needed on x86 and x86_64

as FB_SIMPLE relies on devicetree or platform data...

the vga= is supposed to work with the other framebuffers we have availavle, including FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT
Comment 6 Bit Twister 2014-01-10 02:13:51 CET 
3.12.6-desktop-5.mga4 resolves my problem on 3 systems and the virtualbox guest.

No idea if it clears the other duplicate bug reports at this time so I will not set this one resolved.
Comment 7 Thierry Vignaud 2014-01-10 02:24:42 CET 
I'm pretty sure it does

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
