I have debian squeze on which I'm trying to get uvesafb running with custom built kernel 3.6.6 (hardware is an HP Elitebook 8540w)
I've compiled the uvesa (uvesafb.ko) and the Connector - unified userspace (cn.ko) as a module which are loaded via initramfs. As far as I can see everything loads correctly yet the console would not switch to graphic mode. During the boot I get (from dmesg) the following relevant logs : Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-3.6.6-third root=UUID=5dab6759-c7ac-4755-a8a7-36ca63e17a92 ro video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32 scroll=ywrap Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-3.6.6-third root=UUID=5dab6759-c7ac-4755-a8a7-36ca63e17a92 ro video=uvesafb:1280x1024-32 scroll=ywrap pci 0000:01:00.0: Boot video device video: probe of LNXVIDEO:00 failed with error -2 uvesafb: NVIDIA Corporation, GT216 Board - 06990005, Chip Rev , OEM: NVIDIA, VBE v3.0 uvesafb: VBIOS/hardware doesn't support DDC transfers uvesafb: no monitor limits have been set, default refresh rate will be used uvesafb: scrolling: redraw uvesafb: framebuffer at 0xd1000000, mapped to 0xffffc90011c00000, using 11250k, total 14336k If I do lsmode after boot I can see the following modules being loaded : uvesafb 18723 0 fb 43960 1 uvesafb fbdev 734 1 fb cfbcopyarea 2902 1 uvesafb cn 3429 2 uvesafb cfbimgblt 1905 1 uvesafb cfbfillrect 2994 1 uvesafb Additionally my /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf in the initramfs contains : "options uvesafb mode_option=1280x800-8 scroll=ywrap" My grub version is 1.98 As I said, I see no major error message yet the console is still the ancient 80x25 text mode.
