 Posted: Fri Jan 02, 2004 2:46 am Post subject: Framebuffer & 2.6.0 [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have a BIG problem: as you can see in this image, every time I boot my gentoo box the framebuffer is messed!!!
My grub.conf is
| Code: | title=Gentoo
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr splash=silent
initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.splash

What version of 2.6.0 kernel are you using? mm sources, love, gentoo-dev?
And what is the picture supposed to be of? The standard gentoo splash? |

This looks similar to a problem that drove me nuts till today. I had no problem getting the SVGA console to work with the 2.4.x kernels. The problem I found with the 2.6.0 kernel was that I had to make sure that CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is NOT enabled when I configured the kernel. Having this enabled in 2.4.x did not cause a problem in selecting the vga mode 0x317 but it did under 2.6.0 kernel. The option can be found under the following menu: "Device Drivers ----> Graphics support ---> VGA 16-color graphics support".
