Thanks for the reply, I have looked at the document but unfortunately I
can't use Nouveau because I need 3d so I went for what I could use. I've
dropped uvesafb totally as it was pretty much useless anyway. It has sort of
helped a little, its coming up what seems like more often than before but
its still blanking quite a lot on boot. A few minutes of switching terminals
does eventually bring it up but there doesn't seem to be any reasoning
behind why it does and doesn't work. Nothing jumps out at me in the log
either.
Thanks
Oliver
