Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2004 5:24 pm Post subject: SMP Framebuffer Support |
|
|
Anyone know if the framebuffer can be used with an smp enabled kernel? I have a dual AMD MP system, but framebuffer does not work on it with an smp enabled kernel. Framebuffer support works fine when using a non-smp kernel. I have only tried 2.4.x kernels so far, but I will be trying a 2.6 kernel soon. My video card is a Geforce 4 4400. |

Mine doesn't. Well at least not with the LiveCD. I get a blank screen. I haven't tried fb in a kernel I compiled in a while. |

A7M266-D with a pair of MP1800's, framebuffer and/or bootsplash is no problem. |

Does anything different from a non-smp kernel need to be compiled into the kernel to get fb to work with an smp kernel? |

fb would not work for me from a LiveCD. However, I installed the 2.6.3 kernel today and fb seems to work fine with that. Thanks. |
