Im running the current stable debian. With the 2.4.27-2-sparc64-smp kernel the console works very well and it displays two pengiuns in color and the normal boot messages. When i try the vmlinuz-2.6.8-2-sparc64-smp kernel it goes blank just after:
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 I have tried to set the resolution in the firmware to something resonable with setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x60. I have also tried to change it with the fbset command. Whatever i to try with fbset it just accepts it but when i check with "fbset -v" it still is at the default 640x480-60. And no change on the actuall console. The fbset command is run via ssh since the console isnt working. The machine is an Enterprise 250 dual sparcII 400mhz, and the display controller is the 3DLabs Permedia II 2D+3D (rev 01). I lack more ideas on how to get the console working (with the 2.6 kernel). Any pointers are happily accepted. Sincerely Henrik Hellerstedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
