I've been struggling for two days trying to get my Compaq Presario X1029cl to go into hi-res consoles or framebuffer. Until I switched to kernel 2.6.x, I had always been able to simply add a statement to the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst file like "vga=791" to achieve what I was after.
Not one time with the 2.6.x series have I been able to get it done. I've tried these various incarnations: video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap,vga=791 video=vesa:mtrr,ywrap,vga=0x317 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,vga=791 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,vga=0x317 video=vesafb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] video=radeonfb:mtrr,ywrap,vga=791 video=radeonfb:mtrr,ywrap,vga=0x317 video=radeonfb:[EMAIL PROTECTED] vga=791 Anything with the vesa statement provides a normal console (80x25). Anything with radeonfb or vesafb without the [EMAIL PROTECTED] provides a blackscreen during bootup. This doesn't lock the machine up, I just can see anything that happening. The radeonfb and vesafb with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] statements provide a normal console (80x25) The vga= statement gives me a blank screen as well. Has anyone been able to use a 2.6.x kernel and get a hi-res framebuffer? Of those that can, can you post the relevent portions of your kernel config for me? Thanks in advance, -- Kevin L.
