There might be a bug with the ioremap patch that got in by the time linux-2.6.13 was released. The intelfb maintainer is still working on it. You can try to revert that patch (just make sure that the graphics aperture in the BIOS is set to <= 128MB) or use vesafb for now. Here's the link to that patch: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=6bd49341f2806168c877e12cefca77b93437bac2;hp=89204c40a03346cd951e698d854105db4cfedc28 Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
