Greetings: I'm trying to get a better than VGA resolution on the console with a G400 card. So far, I've gotten the console driver to work minimally but I can't get it into a mode I want.
Here's what I get in dmesg: matroxfb: Matrox unknown G400 (AGP) detected Invalid vesa mode 0x01B8 matroxfb: 640x480x0bpp (virtual: 640x13104) matroxfb: framebuffer at 0xCE000000, mapped to 0xd0005000, size 16777216 Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 fb0: MATROX VGA frame buffer device fbset -i tells me this: mode "640x480-60" # D: 25.200 MHz, H: 31.500 kHz, V: 59.999 Hz geometry 640 480 640 13104 0 timings 39683 48 16 33 10 96 2 accel true rgba 6/0,6/0,6/0,0/0 endmode Frame buffer device information: Name : MATROX Address : 0xce000000 Size : 16773120 Type : MGA Millennium I step 16 text Visual : PSEUDOCOLOR XPanStep : 8 YPanStep : 1 YWrapStep : 0 LineLength : 1280 MMIO Address: 0xcd000000 MMIO Size : 16384 Accelerator : Matrox G400 But when I use fbset to change modes, (even if I specify the current mode) I get this: owl:~# fbset 640x480-60 ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument Has anyone out there had better success with a G400? -- Mark
