Hey guys, after upgrading to 295.59 from 295.53, i am seeing the following in the dmesg output:

NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.

Any idea what this is about. Seems to be about the framebuffer driver. But earlier no configuration was needed for that. Moreover the virtual console seems to be working fine.

Anyone else got a similar message in the log?

UEFI install by any chance? I ask because the message correlates to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2543252&postcount=13

Nope, no uefi. It's a pentium 4, with nvidia geforce 210 card.

Are you also seeing this in dmesg as well? nvidia 0000:01:00.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0 nvidia 0000:01:00.0: power state changed by ACPI to D0 vgaarb: device changed decodes: PCI:0000:01:00.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=io+mem NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 295.59 Wed Jun 6 21:19:40 PDT 2012
