hi all, I use ati-drivers started from 10.11, and replace my radeon driver
from xorg-drivers, the documents already mentioned my previous working
radeonfb drivers will no longer work, but no any solutions for user who is
willing to use framebuffer console as before. I googled but no luck, some
says vesa works, but seems not working for me. any advices pls.

thanks

To use vesa you need to add a vga=795 on the kernel command line for 1280 x
1024 screen resolution. For more options put vga=ask on the kernel command
line to see what resolutions available in hexadecimal. For example 0x31B
equals 795 in decimal.
Hope that helps.
