Hi ! I run Mandrake Linux Cooker-i586 20030114 22:48 on my IBM ThinkPad 600.
All runs fine, except that i have no umlaut symbols on my tty consoles after I start the pcmcia service (under X they are shown correctly). when I start the system without the pcmcia service and I have all umlaut symbols. during the pcmcia service starts this is written to the syslog: Jan 16 18:57:13 notebook /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: ... can't load module uhci Jan 16 18:57:13 notebook /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: missing kernel or user mode dri ver uhci Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.0 Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:02.0 Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: neofb: mapped io at caaa7000 Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: Panel is a 800x600 color TFT display Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: neofb: mapped framebuffer at caca8000 Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: neofb v0.3.2: 2048kB VRAM, using 800x600, 37.878kHz, 60Hz Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 100x37 Jan 16 18:57:14 notebook kernel: fb0: MagicGraph 128XD frame buffer device Jan 16 18:57:18 notebook kernel: eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#0 link partner capability of 45e1. As u can see hotplug loads the neofb module and switching the console to colour frame buffer with the result that i have no umlaut symbols anymore. How can I configure hotplug to prevent loading the neofb, cause its also slowing down the whole text output. Regards, Juergen Krause
