 Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2004 5:41 am Post subject: high-res console with gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r10 [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I recently upgraded my kernel sources from gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8 to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r10, and some changes in the configuration have messed up my nice 1280x1024 framebuffer console. Before I had the same configuration listed below, except that there was no VESA driver type option, and no VESA default mode option. In order to get 1280x1024, I booted the kernel with the vga=0x31A option, which now gives an invalid mode error.
So I am looking for the correct gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r10 configuration for a 1280x1024 FB console. Here is my current kernel config:
| Code: | == Graphics support ==
[*] Support for frame buffer devices
<*> VESA VGA graphics support
VESA driver type (vesafb-tng)
(1280x1024x85) VESA default mode
== Console display driver support ==
[*] Video mode selection support
<*> Framebuffer Console support
== Logo configuration ==
[*] Bootup logo
[*] Standard 224-color Linux logo |

Since u're spcifying the resolution in the kernel configuration; I'd guess u shouldn't pass kernel any parameter for vga mode

Dunno if it's simply a typo in your post, but the mode should be specified as follows:
or you can specify the colour depth like so:
If you want to use a mode other than the default, here's what my kernel paramaters look like:
| Code: | | kernel=/2.6.9-rc2-love4 video=vesafb:ywrap,vram:16,mtrr,1280x1024-32@75 root=/dev/hda3 splash=silent,theme:emergence |
