Felix, what do you mean with resolution = upstream? Did you report it upstream, or should I (e.g.) do that?
I consider the message upstream WAD. I looked in upstream tracker and only found only two instances of string "gfxpayload=", which leaves me both wondering about the efficacy of the upstream tracker's search function, and thinking no one else thinks this to be a problem that needs fixing. I suggest you file there if you want it to go away.
It seems to be that in this case it is not upstream that needs to fix this. It looks to me that yast should created / adapt to different entries in the grub.cfg file. It is now sticking to grub-1 type of entries.
I don't believe anything in YaST, SuSEconfig or anything else openSUSE-specific could do anything to make that message go away, instead requiring a patch to Grub2. Right now I believe there is copious Grub2 integration left to do, as well as learning of the much more complex (than Legacy Grub) Grub2 by those working on integration.
Have a look at this description in the Debian wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/GrubTransition It states: "Just replace linux and initrd by linux16 and initrd16 in each menuentry bloc you want to use VGA mode" The menu entries are created by yast, as such openSUSE should fix this and not upstream.
Have you tried that recommendation to see if it works for you? linux16 and initrd16 are for Grub2's use only. Still vga= will be required by those with no KMS support for their video chips who want to specify initial tty modes.
Deprecated is the correct warning type to use here.
Deprecated like old hardware is deprecated. Some have no choice over the hardware they have access to.
It is still supported, but support may (will) be removed the future. The grub(-2) developers give others (linux distributions) time to adjust there installers to grub2....
Support for anything can always be removed. To invalidate use of vga= would mean either support for old video chips would have to be dropped, killing viability of Linux distros on otherwise useful old hardware, or the (unlikely viable) provision of KMS support for old video chips. Still, the discussion of vga= is orthogonal to Grub 2, as it is for post-Grub use, after handoff to kernel, for use by kernel and user space. Grub2 has no business objecting to cmdline parameters users need or want to provide to the kernel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
