I installed Kubuntu 10.04 Alternate on some old hardware today. It has a 1GHz P3, 512Mb RAM, 40GB HDD and SiS 630 integrated graphics.
When it boots in the GUI, I only get a horizontally compressed images on the left of the screen. Adding a configuration file (10-monitor.conf) in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d doesn't help.
Viewing dmesg and I see:
Well, yes. Because a few lines above that, I see vesafb is being loaded.
I think vesafb is causing the display problem so my question is: is there a way to remove vesafb without having to recompile?
