For those that like to use the rivafb at the console with 1024x768 Resolution and 70Hz Screenrefresh.
The patch I found yesterday will not solve the X -> console -> X problem but it's a nice thing if U use your linux-box in console mode. With the consolefont I'am using (lat9w-16 for western europe) it gives me a resolution of 128x48 characters.
I've prepared the kernel as follows:
| Code: | Console drivers --->
[*] VGA text console
[*] Video mode selection support
Frame-buffer support --->
[*] Supporrt for frame buffer devices
[*] nVidia Riva support
[*] VESA VGA graphics console
[*] Advanced low level driver options
[*] 8 bpp packed pixels support
[*] 16 bpp packed pixels support
[*] 32 bpp packed pixels support
[*] Select compiled-in fonts
[*] VGA 8x8 font
[*] VGA 8x16 font |
The patch I mentioned above is this one:
