Re: trying 2.6.8.1

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi,

Thanks Aivils!!!

I tried vanilla linus WITHOUT the patch and that
works.

So I guess the patch is dead.

Unrelated to Ruby but to 2.6.x: I used to get great
fonts by setting the fonts to sun12x22 and vga=794.
That font would beat SVGATextMode on 2.4.x.

But you cannot do that anymore! Now vga=x does nothing
although the item is checked on the kernel config.
Instead what you get is the font you check. That means
that vc console font under 2.6.x is ALWAYS worse than
with SVGATextMode...

Too bad.
