 Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:10 pm Post subject: Framebuffer not working |
 |
|
I compiled kernel 2.6.9 in order to have framebuffer and configured kernel this way
Device Drivers > Graphics support:
[*] Support for frame buffer devices
<*> VESA VGA graphics support
VESA driver type (vesafb-tng) --->
Device Drivers > Graphics support > Console display driver support:
<*> Framebuffer Console support
Device Drivers > Graphics support:
[*] Support for the framebuffer splash (NEW)
<*> RAM disk support
(4096) Default RAM disk size (kbytes) (NEW)
[*] Initial RAM disk (initrd) support
then I modified lilo.conf adding, in gentoo section, append="video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@85"
when I boot i gives no error but it does not change resolution
same thing if in console i type
video=vesafb:ywrap... and so on like before
what's missing? |

You need to select one more option under

I have tried with both ck-sources 2.6.9 and 2.6.10, and I have the same problem. I have all the things mentioned compiled into my kernel, and I am using LILO.
When I put at the top of the lilo.conf file, then I get the error 'undefined mode number.'
When I put | Code: | | append="video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1024x768-16@85" |
into the kernel entry, then there is no error, but the resolution never changes.
When I put into the kernel section, I get an error when I run /sbin/lilo that says that APPEND cannot contain VGA.
Any ideas?

I just noticed that you have vesafb-tng compiled not the vesafb standard. I usually select vesafb, and then compile the framebuffer for my video card. I have two computer on which I run gentoo, one has a Voodoo5 5500, and the other one an Intel card.
For the first one I run the framebuffer with tdfxfb and the other one with the i810fb.
Thus my lilo.conf append line looks something like:
| Code: | | append="video=tdfxfb:ywrap,mtrr splash=silent, theme=emergence" |
For the other one I use i810fb. In both cases I don't use the VESA drivers.
Try to compile in the kernel frambuffer support for your video card and try it that way. I compiled both as modules. |
