Thanks to all who helped me out during this thread. Yes. After enabling
"Prompt for Developmental Code" I got framebuffer options in console
drivers. I compiled the kernel with the following options :
#
# Frame-buffer support
#
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CLGEN is not set
# CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
# CONFIG_FB_VGA16 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_HGA is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
# CONFIG_FB_MATROX is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ATY is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ATY128 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_3DFX is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_ADVANCED is not set
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB8=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB16=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB24=y
CONFIG_FBCON_CFB32=y
# CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY is not set
# CONFIG_FBCON_FONTS is not set
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
But still I don't get the tux on my i810. I tried passing
vga=768 (640x480x256 color)
vga=771 (800x600x256 color)
vga=773 (1024x768x256 color)
But I get the following message :
You passed an undefined mode number.
Does this mean that my bios does not support vesa 2.0 ?
Now I pass vga=5 to get 80x34 in console.
Anything I have done wrong here ?
Is there any other way I can check whether my bios supports vesa 2.0 ?
Thanks a lot again.
Warm Regards
