Hi all :)
I'm stuck with a bit of a problem, I'm using a kernel built with gentoo-sources
2.4.20r6, with matroxfb, videomode selection support, and G400 support compiled in. I
need to be able to specify the following upon boot (its for an arcade monitor):
mode "384x288-51"
# D: 8.190 MHz, H: 15.750 kHz, V: 51.136 Hz
geometry 384 288 384 576 32
timings 122100 56 40 15 2 40 3
accel true
rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode
This mode does work, if I set it from the command line:
fbset -xres 384 -yres 288 -depth 32 -t 122100
But when I append it to the kernel options at boot:
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3
video=matroxfb:xres:384,yres:288,pixclock:122100,depth:32
(all one line in grub.conf)
The kernel appears to completely ignore my setting, and goes to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
regardless. Of course I could munge the startup scripts and add a line to set the
framebuffer somewhere, but I want to be able to have the bootlogo if possible!
As I type this I'm emerging 2.4.20r8, but it SHOULD work in what I have currently. Is
there anything I need to check and add/remove to get it working?
Regards
Matthew
