Hi fellows!
I have Ati Radeon RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10] on my nc6000 HP Compaq Laptop. Problem is that there is no way to select 1400x1050 resolution with 16 or 24bit colors, and I want to set up a splash screen. Vesafb doesn't recognize 1400x1050 because it's not a standard resolution, and if I use RadeonFB driver, then I can select 1400x1050, but can't select 16 bit color  I've tried with video=radeon:1400x1050-16@60, video=radeon:1400x1050@60-24, but nothing responds, I always get "No 8bpp verbose picture specified in theme config." error on boot.

It never occurred to me to try 16 bit colour. I have an ASUS A2K, and it has the same chip. I run it in 32 bit , with fbsplash, and the "experimental" r300 driver. Here's my kernel line:
| Code: | | video=radeonfb:nomtrr,ywrap,1400x1050-32 splash=silent,fadein,theme:gentoo-black quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 |
Of course, I had to do my own splash theme, because of the non-standard resolution...
Works for me. YMMV.

OK, I did it... I've put 32 and now it works. I don't know if it has something to do with it, but I've build both radeonfb & vesafb drivers into kernel this time. This is my grub.conf for this kernel:
| Quote: | # Debian GNU/Linux
title - Debian GNU/Linux [2.6.20-viper7] [radeon]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.20-viper7 root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash=silent,theme:DebBlue quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 video=radeonfb:1400x1050-32@60
initrd /themes/DebBlue-1400x1050.img |
