 Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2004 12:06 am Post subject: vesafb-tng still don't work in gentoo-dev-sources-r3 [solved |
 |
|
Hi,
I've just updated to the latest gentoo-dev-sources (~x86). But vesafb-tng still doesn't work, it compiles well but I won't get a graphical frame buffer console.
Here are my kernel settings
| Quote: | #
# Graphics support
#
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS=y
# CONFIG_FB_CIRRUS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ASILIANT is not set
# CONFIG_FB_IMSTT is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
# CONFIG_FB_VESA_STD is not set
CONFIG_FB_VESA_TNG=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA_DEFAULT_MODE="1280x1024@60"
# CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT is not set
# CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_I810 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_MATROX is not set
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON_OLD is not set
# CONFIG_FB_RADEON is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_NEOMAGIC is not set
# CONFIG_FB_KYRO is not set
# CONFIG_FB_3DFX is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VOODOO1 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set
#
# Console display driver support
#
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FONTS is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
#
# Logo configuration
#
CONFIG_LOGO=y
# CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_MONO is not set
# CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_VGA16 is not set
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224=y
CONFIG_FB_SPLASH=y |
And here are my boot params:
| Quote: | title=Gentoo (2.6.9-gentoo-r3)
root (hd0,1)
kernel (hd0,1)/kernel/bzImage root=/dev/hda5 video=vesafb-tng:ywrap,mtrr,1280x1024-32@60 splash=verbose,theme:emergence
initrd (hd0,1)/fbsplash-emergence-1280x1024 |
But all I get is that normal 80x25 (I think) text mode console.

Have you been successful with any kernels and the framebuffer?
Have you emerged splashutils?
Have you got the bootsplash service starting?
Have you checked out the various guides on the forums or the gentoo-wiki?

Instead of | Code: | | video=vesafb-tng:options |
, try plain vesafb: | Code: | | video=vesafb:options |
that should work, I hope.
EDIT: Why do I end a code tag with a /url tag? -_-

Hi,
@Superdude: Yes, vesafb-tng (and gensplash) worked until I installed 2.6.9 (installed with the German gensplash howto here in the board).
| Quote: | * media-gfx/splashutils
Latest version available: 0.9_pre10
Latest version installed: 0.9_pre10 |
rc-update show:
But still, rc-status doesn't show splash (perhaps because it's in boot runlevel).
I have changed nothing about my user space config for gensplash and on the kernel options (used make oldconfig).
@codergeek42: Yes, vesafb works technically but it doesn't work for me because you can't select the refresh rate (it just chooses 75 Hertz for my TFT and I need 60 Hz).

*bump*
This can't be difficult, can it? I mean, at least the developers should know, what reasons might be there for the kernel not switching to graphical 1280x1024 mode.

Hi,
could you please slap me idiot? I just put the new kernel in /boot/kernel2 and not /boot/kernel (where the old kernel is). So I loaded the old kernel which had no vesafb-tng support (because it didn't compile with 2.6.9-r1).
And of course, I was too stupid to check the output of uname -a, while running the "new" kernel.
SOLVED
