Hi Junichi,

I finally have had a little time to check your suggestion. :-)

I have juste build the stock 2.6.17.11 kernel, with the SVN patches.
Here is the way:

  - download the stock 2.6.17.11 kernel sources
  - get the svn trunk from
    http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mactel-linux
  - update the patch version.patch
  - apply all the patches
  - reverse-apply the imacfb.patch
  - build the kernel
  - install the kernel
  - run gptsync (altough I'm not sure this is necessary).

I will add a little text on this to the
http://wiki.debian.org/MacBookPro page.

Yes ! This was the reason ! Having the imacfb.patch applied cause
troubles on the frame buffer in console mode. Removing it is the correct
solution for me. :-)

Removing being: removing from .config  or removing the patch alltogether ?

If its the latter, then we should probably fix the latter so that it doesn't side effect when not enabled in the kernel config.

I could now continue configuring the MacBook Pro. :-)

Thanks for your help.
