 |
|
vesafb is confusing me.
Running the kernel that was compiled when I installed gentoo, I get my desired 1024x768 framebuffer. I compiled a new kernel last night, and no matter what vga hex code I use, the display appears to be doing 1280x1024. Below is my grub.conf, am I missing something dumb? 2.6.20 is the kernel with the issue.
| Code: |
title=kernel 2.6.18-gentoo-r4
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 doscsi vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r4
title=kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r8
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/kernel-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/sda3 doscsi vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr:3,ywrap

| Figured it out. I built vesafb and nvidia framebuffer support into the kernel, it seems they were conflicting. Removed nvidia framebuffer support and now vesafb works fine. |
