Bug Description

Binary package hint: lilo

I cant seem to get a framebuffer to work during boot on my macbook pro. This means I cant use upower or splashy when booting.

When i set vga=795 the screen basically goes blank until gdm starts. I am using the 15" version - i have to use lilo not grub to boot because grub is not supported on my machine.

Just found a patch that should get this working:
