Hi all, I'm trying to install Gentoo 2005.1, using the genkernel script, on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop with an ATI|Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x graphics card. My kernel is kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6
When I reboot, Grub kicks in and I can select my Linux Gentoo operating system no problem. It then gives me a working console, allows me to login & run commands, but the screen itself has gone haywire: about 1 out of every 5 characters is garbled and flickering, and the same screen appears about 4 times on my monitor (with four little penguins, two cut in half). This is with the grub.conf settings below: ***************************************** default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.11-r11 root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED] initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 ********************************************* I've tried changing the video parameters to: video=vesafb:mtrr,[EMAIL PROTECTED] video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED] vga=0x318 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap and even nothing at all for video In each of these four cases, the result is even worse: a screen with thick flickering lines slowly climbing up from the bottom towards the top of the monitor. Thanks in advance for any help! Assaf Urieli -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
